Re: Three speed transmission rebuild

I had hoped that the linkage was the problem. I have lubed attachment points, and greased the shaft that the linkage pivots on, but no improvement with coming out of gear. 2nd gear synchro is fairly weak. You have to double clutch to keep from grinding gears on downshift. There is no first gear synchro is that. Normal for this gear box? In second gear the shift lever wangles around when driving. When I lubed the linkage it got worse. The motor, transmission mounts look ok. Also there is a periodic noise that I think is the throw out bearing rattling. It comes and goes. So there are enough issues that I think pulling the transmission isn't a total waste of time. The shift linkage is very complex, but it looks ok to me. However I don't have anything to compare it to.
