In my 1950 when this started, it came down to the servo seals not holding pressure. Good thing i took it apart for a rebuild, the cork was starting to come apart on the direct drive clutch (no doubt due to a hot, angry, bitter 3 hour drive home from a show that finished it off) and the clutch plates were wore down pretty well (so i was told by the rebuilder)

If you have time and funds, get a rebuild kit, and have it done or do it. Now i have no delay in gear (actually hits pretty decent when you put it in gear now) and everything works smoothly, better then it had ever worked for me.
