well i found out why my shifter was so weird. turns out the previous owner didn't install the upgraded kartboy shift linkage bushings with the short shifter. he had the bushings in the glove box.
crawled under the car this morning and popped them in. the shifter had been up until now very inconsistent, balky, innacurate and difficult when going into first or reverse.
now it is literally a 180 degree difference. no bushing has any right to make this much of a difference in anything!
hock: i'll still replace the tranny fluid as general maintenance but i cannot believe how much the shifting has changed.
