[TR] Need tips/suggestions on adjusting the two stop screws on the shift lever on my TR4A.

[Dave Connitt]

Good morning everyone (Pardon my rambling here),

I was having some shifting difficulties in my TR4A recently going from 1st
to 2nd and from 3rd to 4th.  After thinking the worst possible outcome
(removing the transmission again) I was relieved to determine the problem
was that the two adjusting screws on the left and right sides of the shift
lever were not set up correctly. My reason for thinking this is that after
removing the top cover, and holding it in my bench vise, the shifting
problem was still there. As I started to slowly back out the two screws, I
was at one point, able to smoothly shift from 1st to 2nd and 3rd to 4th. 

Looking on the internet for suggestions on adjusting those two screws, I
read through the Buckeye Triumph technical write up on transmission overhaul
but there wasn't much detail on this procedure. I am looking for some "been
there, done that" suggestions on adjusting those two screws. Also, should I
Loc-Tite the screws once I get them adjusted?

I am also going to replace the 3 0-rings around the shift rods while I have
the top cover off and I noticed there was oil weeping out from around the
rods (Moss vs. TRF?).  Wish me luck removing the tapered bolts on the shift
forks!!

Thanks,

Dave Connitt
