Hello Ragtime:

Drew gave you some good advice there. If you want to read more, then check out this thread:https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=6106&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=0

If I were in your shoes, then I would start with the shifter levers at the base of the steering column. I had the same issue with my 1941 160 when I found out that my levers were worn out. I was getting ready to reproduce them until Fred Kanter said they had a large stock of NOS parts. My shifter lever part numbers were 360425 (R & 1st) and 360426 (2nd & 3rd) - you may want to double check the parts book to see if those numbers are also good for your 110. Anyway, Kanter had them for $66 each at the time and they did the trick.

You may already know this, but you should use a definite H pattern as you shift gears. Mine used to hang-up/freeze going from 1st to 2nd until I started making the H pattern. When going from 1st and passing neutral (palm of your hand up) take a second and move the shifter deliberately through the middle of the H (now palm down). Then lift the shifter into 2nd. The chance of a hang-up greatly increases if you use your palm down for the entire sequence and try to slide through the middle of the H pattern

Good Luck.
