shift slide , set screw crisis

[MyLord]

Hi trying to adjust my 3.0 lx engine and shifter, but the shift cable slide set screw .....

Selco says the set screw should be set screw to

Seloc 1 /4 turn out

Service manual 1/8 turn out max..

which is correct and does it matter ?

Thanks

Ayuh,....... Welcome Aboard,....... I snug it up, 'n back it off, only enough to allow the slide to rotate freely,......

seloc manuals are full of mis-information and wrong information. generally they are not worth the paper they are printed on.

factory manual was written by the people the designed the motor.

have you looked at the write-ups in the stickies?

I'm great at getting screamed at... not always so good at the ciphering part :laugh:

key is it rotates freely with zero resistance with little to no endplay

Seloc makes firestarters, hand wipes and knee pads, but not service manuals...

Once you've read the seloc, you know what not to do....

As already said, snug it up, then back it off just enough to allow it to rotate freely on the wire. Lock the screw in place right there... You're looking for as little end float as humanly possible...
