I had my clutch replaced with an exedy sd twin a few thousand miles ago, but lately the shifting, which has been beautiful, felt like peanut butter. Its really tough to go from 1-2 and 2-3 but the rest are fine.

Also, my pedal engagement for the new clutch in at the very very very top. What's that all about?

BTW, I searched, I failed.

shifter bushings? need more info. could be the tob. is it push or pull type?

 

Thanks for responding. It has Buschur metal shifter bushings and is the standard style, pull I think. I just got the Buschur fork stopper in the mail, what a pita it would be if it's the tob.

 

Lube the shifter bushings.

 

Was there a solution to this problem?

I just installed my Exedy Twin and it engages perfectly but my shifter is so notcy and hard to get in to gear. I am going to try some grease in hopes this will fix the issue.

 

I sprayed a TON of wd 40 on the linkage and that did it. It shifts so smooth now!

 

wd40 is a temporary solution as it doesnt stand up well to engine heat and is fairly a thin lube. i'd still go through the trouble of removing your aftermarket shift bushings and lubing them up well.

 

what kind of lube is best

 

Antiseize will work. Interestingly so will motor oil if u think about it. It has good viscousity, great temp resistance, and made for such things.

 

White lithium grease will work really well. Also add some to the shifter itself.

 

I sprayed the WD40 on it at the beginning of the summer and it's still smooooooth. No doubt that grease, oil, anti seize would work better and last longer though.
