Toploader shifting issues
Marc came over with his 289FIA (ERA) just now and I took it for a spin, it appears that he is having issues with his 2nd to 3rd upshift. I can go 1st to 3rd without an issue, but I have to hunt and peck for the 3rd to 2nd downshift, and the 2nd to 3rd upshift. All else works as it should. Alignment pin has already been set, and sitting in my driveway I can shift as normal in all gears, under normal load I'm back to hunting and pecking in the 2 to 3 and 3 to 2 stroke of the shifter. I thought it might have been the shifter hitting the top of the tunnel opening (it's close but not to the point of causing this problem), but that would not explain the 3 to 2 downshift. Anyone else have any issues with their toploader like this? If so, what were your solutions? I'd love his company tomorrow on my 33rd annual New years Day run, but do not want him to lock up the transmission and have to get towed home. Guess we'll await some responses (I know tough on new years eve) and go from there.
Thanks in advance,
Sincerely,
Bill S.
