Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Perry Kitson]

Preformed the same fix on my Chev 4 speed from the C15A this past winter. The slot and pin were both worn, as well as the hole the pin was fitted into. Milled out the slot to take a new pin in the top of the transmission tower and fitted a new pin with a larger diameter to fit the rewoked hole in the tower . Worked a treat. Things are nice and snug now.

Harry,

Based on our collective experiences, which includes Rob Love and the RCA Lynx, they seem to suffer from being exposed to the elements over time. Not surprising when you think about it. I was able to source from Mac's Auto Parts both the external cap (Robin's last picture) "Floor Shift Lever Housing Cap 32-32089-1", which works quite well and the internal cap which didn't work well since the top hole was too large to properly secure the spring. Gerry certainly solved that.

Perry,

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Sounds as if you and Gerry used the same approach to solving the problem. I'm looking forward to seeing his solution.
