So all of a sudden the gear shifter won't stay in neutral; it drops into first, but not third.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I had a somewhat similar problem with my 1934 years ago. Pull the top trans cover and check the condition of the large conical compression spring that retains the cane in place. I suspect the spring may have broken and a piece fallen into the shifter rails.
