ok. i have a 1952 chevy. its all original except the enginge is from a 1954 winch truck. its just your average 235 c.i. I6. the shift linkages near the manifold keep getting stuck on the manifold. this becomes down right dangerous when your only usabe gears suddenly become reverse and 1st while driving. we took a video of the truck before we dis-assembled it completely.
at about3 minutes and 25 seconds into the video i explain to my friends what is causing the problem. you can see what im talking about in the video.
the linkages are sorta loose. do i need to rebuild that section to make it tighter? or what? help would be lovely.
Alright, something I spotted right away, the bushings in the shift arms on the control box are very worn, epsecially the 2-3 lever. That would be the first place to start. You might also want to check the engine mounts, make sure that the rubber parts are still good. If they're damaged/mushy, it might be letting the engine sag at the rear.
thanks. we just got the truck and we are doing a ground up restoration. the rubber parts of the engine mounts wil be replaced along with all other rubber components of the truck. thanks. i will definatley look at that.
darn. sounds really deep and throaty. i like the intake set up. most likely gonna do something along those lines. and in the video, the exhaust pipe had rotted away from the muffler so its pretty much straight piped with no back pressure
