Howard,

Thank for your informative posts. As usual, you seem to have the right info for me at just the right time.

I have been noticing that I'm having more an more difficulty shifting. Today, I almost couldn't get it into reverse, and as I drove, it loosened up slightly. I would find a sweet spot going from first to second, and as I finessed the lever, it would fall into the proper position for second and direct drive (third). It's as though the neutral position is having a hard time deciding if it is in the normal position of second/third, or in the first/reverse zone. It may be dry inside as you mentioned.

I read the Section7 bulletin you linked to. I think I may just need some lube. Is that oil hole pictured on the 22nd series also?

Just found the oil hole.

I think I'm going to have to disconnect the linkage at the pivot point on the motor to see what's going on.

Thanks!
