My '51 3 speed kept popping out of third, felt like it wasn't engaging third gear all the way and didn't feel like the detent was clicking into place. I took off the side panel and found small pieces of metal jamming the shift linkage. There was a big piece behind the linkage too. (synchro?)
I looked in the tranny and there were more.
I don't know much about tranny internals so I'm not sure what this is. I've been driving it like this for who knows how long since nothing ever happened to make me think there was a problem. It never started popping out of gear until last week, that's also when it felt like it wasnt clicking into third.
Since I only drive it a couple times a week and I've been driving it like this, How big of a concern is it to drive it like this until I can rebuild the tranny.
Any help would be great.
Cheers
