The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop shifting linkage on 3 speed

The shifting linkage on my 58 was taken apart and reassembled by the previous owner.
It looks okay but but does seem to engage properly to move the levers on the tranny.
Any helpfully insite or ides where to start or little to look for that might be buggered up.

Check the ends where the rods attach to the shift levers on the trans. If either or both are worn it will slop around. There are also small springs used at those connections that may be missing. A neoprene bushing is used in some applications on the upper and lower pivot points. They could be worn. The most important first step is to find the exact neutral position, you may have to loosen the arms and move them to do so.
