Mosport Report-Saturday

Saturday morning started with removing the gear box and inspected 4th gear.   4th gear was damage and no longer usable.  Also the dog ring was damaged.  I had a replacement for both.  I was still concerned about the shift linkage.  Replaced both dogs and 4th gear, and then tried to shift the car into 4th.  Still the same result, won't shift.  So the gearbox still wasn't completely together and I started to look into the shift linkage as the start of the problem.  Sure enough the the shift rod linkage had moved out about a 1/2 inch.  So the gear wasn't making full contact and grinding.  Made an adjustment on that, and now it's 2 o'clock and need to get  ready for the race.  To make a long story short about a couple of laps from the end the shift linkage move again and I came in a couple of laps early.
This morning I'm re-readjusting it and drilling a hole and placing a rivet in it.  Today we have a race in the morning and a 30 minute this afternoon.
