I found what appears to be a cracked weld on the edge of the rear differential. I believe it's welded along the rear edge of the pumpkin but I'll wait for some expert input. Does anyone have suggestions on how to repair this or just stopping the leak?

Thanks Joe, quite a job you took on there! So it doesn't look like the pin was anything unusual for you? I'm able to push it in and out a little with just the pressure of my finger. It moves back and forth from either side so I don't think it's tapered. Did you just drive it out?

1940-110 Shifter Selector Removal

Does anyone have any experience removing the pin in the column's shifter selector (under the shifting levers). There is a pin holding the selector to the column shaft but the pin moves up and down slightly. I'm wondering why there is movement? Doesn't seem like a normal pin. I hit it a few times gently with a punch from each direction but no luck yet. Just want to make sure it isn't spring loaded or something weird before I really hit it. Does anyone have any experience with removing it?

OK thank you. Now I’ll have to figure out which side.

Howard, there is a pin in the shifter selector. The pin moves up and down freely (a little bit). I'm looking to disassemble the column and remove the upper lever. Does this pin need to be driven out or is there more to it? The little bit of movement has me hesitant to drive it out with a punch.

I cleaned up all of the linkage connections. No rubber bushings and most of the slop I found in the linkage was due to worn spring washers. All are tight now with new washers and shims.

I may be wrong on the Packard bulletin. I read something a few months back regarding pot metal shifter levers and thought it applied to my model year. I guess it could have been a post from another member or from another publication. There is some space between the lever and the column. They move sideways slightly on the shaft almost like a wiggling motion before moving into gear. It appear as though there is some slop or loss of motion from the column shifter to the lever . There is no rust at all.

110 Shifting Column Levers

So for the last few weeks I’ve been working on improving the shifting capability on my 1940 Packard 110. I’ve made multiple adjustments in the linkage which included adding shims and washers to eliminate the loss of motion. Tonight I noticed there appears to be excess sideways movement in the shifting column levers. The second and third shifting lever appears worse than the reverse and first lever. I’ve added washers to the column but it appears as though the inside diameter of the lever may have developed wear. Reading a Packard service bulletin I see the pot metal shifting levers were upgraded. Does anyone have a source for the updated levers?

Retaining ring and washer are there. I may try a large spacer and shim above the lower retaining ring. I have to find an acceptable ring first. I can’t think of any problems a thick spacer would create. As long as I take up the space and create minimal clearance between the forks. Not sure if I’m missing something…

Mike at Max Merritt sent me this photo. Apparently mine should look like this. The location of the lower locking ring and washer on my shifter tube are much further from the lower fork which may explain the large diameter spring. Notice the space in my photo compared to this photo. I can't change the location of the ring so I would need a much thicker spacer to hold the forks together. My shift tube looks slightly longer and I wonder if someone swapped it out. That may explain having to add a small piece of inner diameter spring for the longer length (if its not broken). Makes my head spin!
