My cars been in bits for a month and ive just got it all back together today, ive fitted; 4.9 FD, Fidanza Flywheel, Exedy Stage 1, tegiwa extended short shift & Mfactory Bushing kit.

Its all gone back together fine and running, but its hard going into gear. The tegiwa shifter feels heavy going into gear and i loose the feeling of what gear its in, its not driveable. I checked it all went into gear before i put the box back in and it was fine so its got to be something to do with the gearlinkages.

As its been a month in bits ill just post up some pics of the linkages if anyone can spot anything wrong or on the wrong way round let me no as ive got the hump! :( haha

I no the rubber boot is missing where the pin is at the gearbox end and also i have split the rubber boot that goes over the ball on the tegiwa shifter and its held together with leccy tape, but surely that wont make it feel heavy and sometimes hard to go in gear....

maybe the spacer on the tegiwa shifter should be on the other side?

Loosen the allen bolt going through the gear lever and see if it makes any difference.
 
did you manage to get this issue sorted buddy? im having the same problem with my box!
 
believe it or not mate but you do need to wear it in sorta thing i had the same problem with my buddy club shifter was really stiff at first but over a period of time it got looser.
