Alvin,
Can you explain to me and others in simple terms "gear lash"? I've got my shop manual with cross sections of the 3-speed tranny and I don't have a clue what I'm looking at.
I'm really thinking it may be more of oil on the clutch since I am very suspicious of a leaking rear engine seal. There "is" a leak somewhere in that area. Trust me, the puddles on the cardboard on the floor of the garage are tell tale signs of something wrong in that area. I gave her a good run the other day when I saw you. That day I put over a 100 miles on Lucille and she did well performance wise, however, she lost 8 ounces (1 cup) of oil. Then I started to notice this "bucking at low speeds" issue.
Like you I hope it's not this gear lash problem that you and elmer46 mentioned. I just need to understand the terminology and what it all means.
