    i never had any problems.


    do you have any after market motor mount inserts?

    do you already have the steel shifter base bushings in?



    are your shift cables well lubricated?

    are your clutch lines fully bled out?

    is yoru clutch pedal adjusted properly?

    A skateboard is a four wheeled platform used for the activity of skateboarding. It is propelled by pushing with one foot while the other remains on the board, or by pumping in structures such as a half-pipe or bowl. A skateboard can also be used by simply standing on the deck while on a downward slope and allowing gravity to propel the board and rider. That being said, the skateboard is not easily defined. Unlike most other sports, there is no governing body which declares any regulations on what constitutes a skateboard or the parts from which it is assembled. For example, longboards are a type of skateboard with a longer wheelbase, and are typically composed of larger and softer wheels. Thus, the definition of a skateboard can vary in both appearance and performance as well as size.

    Damn new yorkers ... I've had the bearings installed for over a year with absolutely no problems. When you pressed them in, did you make sure they were completely even? If they were pressed in on an angle it would cause the cables to bind when you shifted.

    Mine are fine. Shifts arent always smooth on a cold trans, but once everything is warmed up, she shifts like a dream!
