Wondering if anyone can help me with this problem. Recently TR6 has been getting difficult to shift; no clunking or grinding or anything like that, just difficult to move between the gears. Started with it being difficult to push all the way over to reverse; had to kind of slap it. Started getting worse and stiffer just moving it through the gates.
Took of the dash support panel and removed the shifter. Visual doesn't look bad. The grease was a little silvery from the spring cup rubbing on the underside of cap, but I assume thats normal? Only thing I did notice; at bottom of shifter there is a little plug that apparently has a spring under it. I know this because the manual describes using heavy grease to hold spring and plug in place while installing the shifter. Problem is, I can't even get that little plug out! It is level with surface of that little ball on end of shifter-definately couldn't fall out! Does this matter? What does that little plug do? Any ideas?
