1. Shift
lever.
The shift
lever can be
heated and
bent
to suit
the driver's
Prefer-
ence. Generally,
we
have
found
it
should
be
inclined
toward
the
driver
by about
20' as
shown
in
the
illustration.
2.
The
rubber shift
lever boot
should
be
tied
tight around
the lever
with
wire
to
prevent
oil
leakage
into
the cockpit,
as shown
in
the
illus-
tration.
3. The end
of the synchronizer
key
spring
should
be
ground
off so as
to eliminate
any chance
of con-
tact with
the clutch
hub, as shown
in the
illustration.
4. The shifting
fork bolts should be
secured
with both Loctite
and
safety
wire
to thoroughly
prevent
any chance
of
loosening, as shown
in the
illustration.
5. The
configurations
for the bush-
ings for
