RE: Cleaning up the shifting

["Aaron Ness" <aaron@makuta.com>]

The first thing you should do is replace the shift bushings and relay lever
(the plastic ball-thing under the steering rack) and see what that does for
your shifting.  If it's still too loose, a few listers have mentioned that
the A3 relay shaft bushings will tighten up the shifting on an A1.  Only
after you have replaced these parts should you look at upgrades.
