Loose stick shift

It needs to be looked at inside. I drove my buddy’s Pete and his was also slippery. When he drove mine, he had a hard time shifting because it’s not tuned to be shifted cowboy style.

I forgot what setting it is but get a mechanic to tweak it. Not too lose where it is slipping, and not too tight where you literally have to double clutch it to take it out of gear. You can do it yourself, you just need the manual book, it’ll guide you.

Is it normal? Well if the rpms are jumping back and forth, the airbags need to be set at factory setting, or there’s something wrong with the transmission. Other than that, you should be ok.

 

Sounds like the shift tower on top of the transmission is worn out. Had that happen in a company truck years ago. But when it happened to me, the stick came out of the shift tower and was stuck in the gear it came out of, as I couldn't get it back in.

 

What “setting”?
How is it “tweaked “?
How would air bags affect rpm’s?

 

Synchronizer 163. I’m not a mechanic but it can be tweaked to make it loose to make shifting easier. Cowboy style.

Low airbags and high airbags jumps the Rpms up and down. The transmission is not leveled. I experienced this when the air valve stick Brooke loose and the air bags dropped. Gears grinding, shifter releasing from gear.

 

WOW

Define learning?
I’m still scratching my head over the responses earlier.

The Eaton book is free, 200+ pages. Might as well learn.
