Good afternoon...Start by removing the bottom drain in the case and cleaning and flushing the transmission and shifting system until all is nice and clean...take your time and get it really clean...Our 1949 is filled with 140 transmission gear oil...old fashioned Dinosaur juice. Look carefully at the connection from the bottom of the steering column, from under the car, and the two shifting arms. One is reverse and first, the other is second and third. When we did ours, we replaced the washers with ones that fit quite snug and with the new oil...the transmission has shifted fine for about 10 years. The key with ours was that there was too much slack between the shifting arms and the turnbuckel connections...once the slack was out...all was happy. Others more skillful than I, will no doubt have more to say...Ernie in Arizona
