Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Transmission / Shifter question

[clyde romero (clyderomero]

Well you can believe what you want but I cant see how a linkage that goes
through a gated shifter and transmits its request for a gear thru a torque
tube is going to apply sufficient pressure to effect shift forks that are
very much removed from the applied pressure. Especially when the pressure is
applied vertically to the shifter and the only damage I can see is the
return spring that LS mentions. 

And LS did the ignition skip go away?

Sorry Clyde, you're wrong on this one.

Continuous pressure on the lever while in gear and running will put an  
excessive side load on the shift forks and cause excessive/accelerated  
wear.
