'62 Falcon Refresh

[dkutz]

Well a couple weeks with Bob back from the trans shop, and he seems better. Still grinds slightly into 2nd and third. I MAY try synthetic trans oil, and see if that helps. The syncro fired the other day and I was so happy, I think it may just need to be warmed up.

But of course not all is great. I drove him on the freeway for the first time in a while and noticed that the shift lever moves around with road bumps and movement. Its moving with the transmission, so not really sure whats going on. Roger suggested (after sending him pics) that the spring cantilever mount is not set up right. it is missing a rubber washer and has a lock nut on the donut bolt. I suspect that the rubber insulator in the support bracket is either broken or missing as well. I think I will replace the whole assembly. especially since I can't find the parts individually.

I found some diagrams for the assembly so I will post them here for Roger!
