I have a WW IX and have recently done some basic mod stuff. Of these include an agency power short shifter, works poly cable bushings, kartboy poly console bushings, and works knob. MY SHIFTER STILL FEELS ALL GUMMY.. WTF?! I dont get it.. Im relatively certain everything was done rite. The only two things I can think of now are either I need to change fluid.. although this feels far more mechanical.. or the cable connection on the bottom of the spherical bearing shouldnt need to be turned right side up and held from spinning back down to its comfortable position to be connected.. Please help anyone with similar issue... I also have a works clutch line but this is just the shifter.. can removing the pill make shifter feel that much different?

Thanks peoples

 

were any of the bushings you replaced the cable linkage ones under the hood?

replacing those was by far the best thing I ever did...I have the one's Buschur sells

 

Did you deform the pivot spring on the shifter itself? When you say gummy do you mean it is rubbery upon engagement or it does not snap back to center? If its the later than its that spring.

 

Remove ur SH.Shifter ...

 

like everyone says you need to change your under hood shifter bushings cause there rubber go's bad after awhile. i went with the buschurracing stiff shifter bushings and really like the feel!

the inside bushings dont change the way it shifts or feels, they dont do much if any for shifting imo

 

first, thanks to all for the advice. the cable bushings (under the hood) are the works urethanes. They're very nice quality, etc. but still to my dismay its gummy nonetheless. Its not so much going into gear (although thats not as crisp as i would have though either) but just the action of the shifter in general.. its sticky to move it back in fourth in neutral, into gear.. all over really. It feels as if I had dumped a soda into the mechanisms.. like sticky and hesitant when it should be rifle bolt precise like several of my friends'. 250 worth of parts; imo, it should be surgically precise at this point..

 

everyone's basically telling you to get the solid cable shift bushings, and get rid of the urethane ones. if you're looking for a rifle bolt action feel, then match those solid aluminum cable bushings up with an upgraded front motor mount

 

Im sure that would help, the thing of it is two of my friends have the poly joints like me and theirs feel exceptional.. im gonna pull it today and go back over my work.. too many cooks in the kitchen when i was putting it all in (2 friends, late nite style). Ill get back on my progress.. thanks peoples for all the advice

 

So during the cable bushing replacement, the cable had gotten flipped under the hood without notice. It now shifts like a dream. The works polys are awesome but still might try brass just to take it a step further.. I have heard there is a negative side to going from stock rubber all the way to no-give, solid metal though. Thanks everybody for the tips.. much appreciated.

 

how do you close a thread?
