Re: Any way to make F/R knob easier to turn?
Hi again,
I'm reviving this post, since I finally got some dielectric grease spray. Okay.......so, without taking anything apart, I just direct the spray towards the copper contacts on the F/R mechanism? Could it hurt anything if other things get sprayed in that area? Thanks! |

Spray at will, then work it in and repeat as needed.

Re: Any way to make F/R knob easier to turn?
Isn't there a piece of linkage going to the rotary switch mounted under the passenger seat? (with the black plastic hoody on it?)

Re: Any way to make F/R knob easier to turn?
Yes Scotty, That's what I'm talking about spraying. After taking the cover off, I can see how the linkage goes to the mechanism. Somewhere in there are the copper contacts. (rumor has it).
Gornoman......when you say "work it in", does that mean I should go back and forth with the F/R lever? Thanks! |

Re: Any way to make F/R knob easier to turn?
It works much easier now. Time will tell if I no longer have to play with the rod to get it to go in reverse. But.........the stuff I used I thought was a spray but it was a gel under pressure. I just squirted some in around the contacts and then used a screwdriver to distribute it a little better.
I'll let you know if it works on consistently going into reverse when I want it to. But.......the knob is much easier to use now. I thought it was so stiff because of the rusty connection of the knob to the rod, but it must have been the other part. Thanks for your help! |
