freewheel wiggle
I have significant back and forth wiggle in the freewheel of my '88 GT mountain bike. Could this cause the rear deraillieur not to shift properly? Do I need a new freewheel, or is there an adjustment? If a new part is required, what all is involved in changing it?

To show how to fix that would be a pain to describe here and the typing involved so go here instead, plus you get pics: https://www.parktool.com/repair/byreg...mageField2.y=5
