Good afternoon Deluxe...

We had the same problem with 'Miss Prudence' our 1949 Deluxe. The linkage was warn and specifically the washers were wallowed out. We miked the shaft and drilled new washers from the hardware store to fit snug. We used a combination of thick and thin washers, so that when the cotter pin was put back in, everything was really snug. The problem ended. The slack was about 1/4 inch, but it was enough to get the old girl stuck in second.
