Transmission shifting question
Posted by Usmc1936 On 2019/10/7 21:04:03
Greetings,
This past weekend I just bought a 1936 Packard 120 8 cylinder. The owner that I bought it from had it sitting in a climate controlled garage since 2012I am in the process of getting it running again. When I was sitting in the car messing around with the gear selector I noticed that I can only go into reverse in first gear on it. I cannot get second or third gear to engage. My question is is this because the gears are not synchronized and I have to be moving in order to get it to go on the second and third gear? Or should I be able to shift through all the gears with the car not in motion? You guys are going to see a lot of me around these parts I appreciate everyone's input and discussion.
