Re: Trouble Shifting into Reverse and acceleration

Ed, 
Welcome to the world of De Loreans. I to had the problem with 
shifting when I bought my car about 4 years ago. After cleaning,re 
lubricating and adjusting linkage it all worked out. I also noticed 
that if the linkage isn't adjusted just right the edge of the shifter 
boot could get in the way. You may also want to lubricate the pivot 
bolt which is under the car in the frame and part of the shifting 
linkage, it probably hasn't been touched in years. 
As to the parts you need, I have a friend in N Carolina who would 
have the parts. If you will email or call my 800 # 9-5 m-f I will 
give you his number.800-413-3300.
