I just bought my first Imp. I’m starting to go through it. One problem is that it won’t shift into fourth gear. Any experience out there that might help?

I have an imp.

fourth gear does not seem to have much throw to it. (compared to 1-3)

I would go to the back and see if it is there by hand on the short shifter directly out of the transmission.

One of the imps I bought was from a LMC dealer parts guy, he said the little bolt in the transmission cover really mattered for locating the shift plate and forks, maybe yours is missing?

Lee, You shore someone didn't change the differential from a oc-4 to a oc-3? on the case top does it show a 4 speed, and the shifter should be on the side. I'm sure there might be some local imp owners that could help you out. Don

I have been trying to find your phone number... sent a FB message to your wife.
I have been quite ill.. so haven’t been working on the Imp.

I did check out the rear end, it is a 4.

I hope to be working on it again next week... would love some guidance !!
