yeah but sometimes the wagon doesn't want to go into gear, I might try adjusting the clutch cable but I get a feeling that's not the issue


Loosen of the stops on the shifter so it can completely get into gear

some people tighten them so it seems shorter but it really is just damage stuff

it goes in but it really comes in hard is the issue I think, toms driven it, everything it is set for race car
