Roger -

Thank you for referencing my post in that thread, as I had forgotten about it. In that one message, I had tried to cite the most relevant bulletins because the 1937-42 installment of the Service Index was still under construction, at that time. However, that post does provide the reader with a one-stop point of reference for what now appears to be a fairly common issue.

Again, the running design changes should have all been incorporated into the 22nd-23rd Series cars, but those articles do provide important points to check on all years using that equipment - 1939-50, as Mal pointed out.

In the final page of that thread, member BDeB also provides good photos of the shift fork and interlock block details.

Perhaps most important of all are the photos provided by Joe Santana, showing what he found and the text detailing what he did to resolve his problem - though it may not be the same outcome for all vehicles.
