38 WLDR - Re-Rinse, Shift Rod and Fuel Filter...



Major re-rinsing. Pulled off the old shift rod...

Got as much sand out as possible...and oiled

Clean up and installed later Servi shift rod and later fuel filter

No slop... (-52) Servi-car shift rod...

Proper rod bendage...around (-41) fuel filter...

Sand free Pri ma ree....

 A few hours and a lot of cleaner and lube and the WLDR is a little less crunchy. I installed a later (-52) Servi-car shift rod that takes a shoulder bolt at the trans shift lever. This should eliminate sloppy shifting ( at least one point of it). I also had to remove the early fuel filter and install the "later" (-41) style to clear the rod.
Still not sure about my gearing...I dropped the motor sprocket to 22 teeth and this changes the ratio to slightly out of range for the factory recommended WR 1/2 mile gearing (calculating with my other gears)...we shall see...
