Default Re: Mitchell Overdrive problem

YBlockhead
I’ve installed quite a few Mitchell’s and have seen poor engine mounts cause trans and engine to move which in fact can cause the shift mechanism to shake. Noting Tom Endy’s issue I would think the issue has been covered by Steve Mitchell . He is always very responsive.
Wether you agree or not poor mounts can cause lots of different issues. Worn and sagging pressing on the brake pedal can actually cause the torque tube to rest on the brake cross shaft . I do service and restoration by occupation so have seen quite a bit . Also, as was said the Mitchell shifts hard sometimes when new and you must ensure that it is fully engaged. Sometimes the linkage needs a little adjustment as well.
Just sharing what I’ve seen and know .... I’ve dealt with my fair share of them.
We are lucky to have the Mitchell overdrive as an option to us. Special thanks to the Mitchell’s.
