A230 Linkage Up or Down?

1) First; make sure your oil is NOT synthetic
2) get rid of that 140 wt in favor of 75/ whatever; or 50% Dextron. That thick oil is hard enough to squeeze out in summer
3) prove your neutral-gate
4) Then set your plate departure at .080. Make sure the car does not creep with the pedal down.
4B) Then make sure every mount is 100% A-OK, especially the driver's side engine.
4C) make sure the Z-bar isn't moving transversely, and that BOTH ends are firmly anchored and immovable..... especially the frame end. Mopar welded a reinforcing bracket on there for a reason.
4D) just for kicks. you might want to check out the nylon ball-bushings

#4 B-C-D all affect the plate departure
check in the order given;stop when the issue is resolved
You'll know the plate departure is right when shifting into reverse doesn't grind.
