So, I’m not sure if my question has been answered: what would cause it to be darn/near impossible to pull out of a gear? 3rd on a 4spd sm420? I learned to double clutch when I was younger and have gotten quite good at driving my old rig by feel and revs, but my wife wants to try it out. She can’t. My niece wants to take it to grad one day. She can’t. At times I’ve gotten into predicaments where a sudden stop is required and then I have to lug it a bit to get going and then slip it OUT of third. It’s a PITA. If push comes to shove, I’m changing the transmission to a parts one.
My bearings are good. I tightened up and refurbished my linkage. It seems pretty tight compared my parts trucks. Not a new Toyota tight, but it feels great for a 51 GMC.
