G'day Bob and Joyce,
Like to add my
to those already made.
Concerning the shifting problem, have had some experience with the Pre-War cars with this setup. Wear in the various components is a major contributor to this problem and there have been a number of threads on the site about it. One area that could be addressed is the steering column shaft levers. For your car I think they are P/Nos 360417 & 360419, see pic's of a listing from the 48 - 54 Parts List which is available for download from the Literature and Manuals section of this Site. Also pic's of Group 3.328 & 3.329 from the 35- 41 Parts List and a couple of pic's from the '39 Owners Manual, all these are for illustration purposes but should apply to your Packard. Regarding P/Nos 360417 & 360419, there are NOS 360417 and a 360419 available on Ebay at this moment from Packards1 who is a member of this Site.
A final word on this, my '41 120 Coupe suffers from hanging up but, until it's addressed directly, for the meantime I don't shift into 1st from 2nd only into 1st from 3rd. Find that by doing this it doesn't hang up, if I forget it does!
Lastly I invite you to include your '49 Packard in the Packard Owner's Registry here on PackardInfo.
