So I've owned my 1g fwd talon now for 3 years, and have basically gone through everything in that time. My goals have always been just a well sorted fun car to daily during the warmer months.
Since I've owned the car I've always had shifting issues, and can't ever find a remedy. I've done all the recommended mods, fix's, and adjustments that I've read about. Including: completely rebuilding my shifter, solid base bushings, and all new OEM bushings throughout. Also solid bushings at the trans(where the cables attach). I've tried several different combinations of trans fluids (mt85, mt90, syncromesh, etc). When none of this worked, I figured my syncros we're shot, And needed a rebuild. So I ended up sourcing a rebuilt 1g fwd trans. But to no prevail, no matter what I've tried it always the same. Crunchy, unsatisfying, sometimes terrible shifting experience. Also I should mention I've tried adjusting everything more times than I can count. Both shift cables, and clutch adjustment.
So I'm asking myself whats left, what could be?. The only thing I can really think of, is the cables are stretched, not giving enough movement?. And that's kinda what it seems like, especially with the left/right movement. So any input would greatly appreciate?. Thanks.
