RE: Sticking trans pushbuttons

Reply,
Even with the buttons removed, the cable should respond to the pressure
applied to the shift shaft.  If this is ok, the problem probably lies within
the trans. I agree with Schyler, remove the pan to specifically delineate
what the situation is.  I know it is time consuming...but it is the right
way.  Thanks

Subject: Sticking trans pushbuttons



Hi all

After a bit of advice from Gary, Rich & Schuyler, we had a go at removing
the pushbutton assembly from the dash last weekend, to try and give the
mechanism a good old lube-job. Could have just tried to lube it from the
front or up behind (!), but decided to go the whole hog and take the
assembly out to see what's restricting the buttons.

Didn't get quite as far as hoped, mainly because we couldn't detach the
cables from the assembly. See pics in this link:

It looks like someone's crimped the open ends of the cable retaining
brackets, probably to stop the cables lifting out when in use. Anyone else
out there with the pushbutton trans seen this kind of thing before?

The other query at this stage is:
Having taken the pushbuttons off the levers, it's very hard to depress the
levers to see if there's any restrictions there. We're not sure if it's
because, without the buttons, there's very little to push on, or if it's
because there is something sticking in the assembly.
Does anyone know if the levers should move freely with the cables still
attached, but the buttons removed?

Going to have another look tomorrow so any suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks
