The combination of retarded timing, premium gas and properly functioning EGR did the trick. I would not have passed without either of those items. I still have the 49 state Emico CAT installed and it should be a 3 way CAT so I do wonder if that is not doing it's job. Robbie - I owe you more beer.
After taking off the clutch arm cover to lubricate I decided to change the cable, add a clevis pin, clean the Bowden tube and blow out the tunnel. Everything was bunged up with hardened grease. I now have some free play and a much smoother clutch peddle with more tactile feedback.
I then lubricated the rear shifter through middle and rear bushes and changed coupler. The old coupler was slightly bent out of shape. All this has resulted in a very much improved shifting experience. I still need to drop transmission to change all the boots and bushes but for now Gary is becoming ever more rewarding to drive.
