1940 Manual shift

Posted by johnpoly On 2010/11/26 12:45:15

In the past when I shifted from first to second quickly the trans would lock up in first gear. To solve this I would open the hood and pull up on the first lever to set it even with the second one. Now I shift from first to second VERY slowly by pulling the gear shift toward me as I move it to neutral. Is there any easy cure for the shifting problem which I understand was not uncommon for Packards requiring yearly Service Bulletins. Thanks for your input, John
