Maintenance / Help with windshield wiper transmission (linkage) 69 Camaro
« on: January 05, 2018, 11:11:27 PM »
I'm stumped. Either something isn't right with the linkage or I'm missing something obvious on putting this together.
The car had no wiper parts at all when I got it so I don't have anything to compare to, but yet it seems simple enough.
After installing the wiper motor and the transmission, if I pull the linkage all the way to the driver side I'm about 1/4" from reaching the ball on the motor arm.
If I push the linkage all the way to the passenger side it only goes a little farther than the motor shaft center line.
It seems like it should go as far to the passenger side as the motor crank would reach when the motor rotates.
It all bolted up to the cowl area ok, and resembles the picture in the AIM.
Any ideas?
Thanks, John
