Thank you gentlemen, I appreciate the time taken to reply. I will peruse the suggested reading and see if I can figure anything out. I recall many years ago, as a kid, having a Vauxhall, of all things, that did the same thing. An old-time mechanic put it on the hoist with me in the driver's seat, had me do some shifting while he adjusted the linkage underneath and the thing shifted like silk ever-after. Hopefully I can effect a similar outcome, loaded with the Packard bulletins.
Ernie, I did have the transmission rebuilt whilst I had the engine out, and it has fresh gear oil. Also, like I stated, it did this 'before and after' the engine removal, so I am quite sure it is a linkage issue. Thanks again for the info. Chris.
