Does the shifter center itself?

[MelectroK]

Im use to many manual transmission where when in neutral the shifter springs to the middle between 3-4. My sho does not do this. If you pull it out of first it says between 1-2. Is this the way it is supose to work?

 

[AutoSHO]

Thats the way the SHO is. It does not have any centering springs.

Guys EVERY SHO I have driven has the center spring mechanism on the shifter.






I'm only joking of course

Some did, some didn't. Although the wimpy springs inside hardly count as "centering springs"

Mine centers. But I'm still old skool and still have a cable shifter. For now anyway.

 

[jelloslug]

My cable shifter self centers.

The tranny in my white 92 didn't have the centering spring, my black 92s first tranny didn't center, the second tranny did, and my 93 did as well. The 93 now has tranny #2 from the black car. When I opened it up, there was only a spring to center from 1-2, but not from 5-R. I don't know if any of them have a 5-R to center spring.

Confused yet? Did I answer any questions?

My wife's '93 doesn't center because the rod shifter is worn out. My '93 centers perfectly.

My old 91 centered itself. As did my 95, my 92 doesn't center itself though. Are those springs in the shifter or in the tranny?

All of the MTX trannies got spring B. Some of them got spring A. These springs are wimpy at best as Terry describes. I know this doesn't help much with the situation, but at least you now can see what it is that he's talking about.

Thanks for the heads up on tha Beth!

So I guess that the worn out rod shifter isn't what is causing it to not center then?

 

[MelectroK]

So, how if its a 95 it should spring itself? Is there a bushing or something that can get sticky. Or is it the lever itself. Im just worried cuz im not use to it and twice so far when going from 2-3 i go to 1. But have caught it and not let the clutch out.
