Re: 1941 trans issue

Prewar transmissions had a problem with the detent block loosening where it bolted to the case. I think I would go ahead and look inside. Maybe if Joe sees this thread he will remember approximately where in his long blog the photos of his detent assy are located or give some better tips.

If not, as I recall, something in his trans was apparently worn or loosened and a detent ball popped out letting the detent spring come out as well. The spring became caught in a lever and was destroyed. Being out of place the spring was also interfering with the lever travel.
