Here's the thing: the shift lever (3spd column-shift) is pretty stiff going between the 1st+rev position and the 2nd+3rd position. Maybe stiff isn't the word, it almost seems like it's binding and it pops between the positions. Any ideas? http://www.stovebolt.com/gallery/bolles_tyler_1959.htm | | |

just adjusted all that on mine recently - also check if the rods are real sloppy or gummed up where they hook into the control arms on the trans
