The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Hard to shift into 2nd (SM420 4speed)

SM420 4speed is difficult to shift into and out of 2nd gear. It does not 'pop' out of gear, however. Shifting into all other gears is easy enough. No grinding sound is noted. It takes a 'double throw' to get it into 2nd.

Thanks for your brain power!
