Hi,
I asked this before and got an answer that didn't help a thing, cleaning parts and playing with springs didn't help. So I am bout to go into the motor. The thing still sticks first time thru the gears after start up, but, now it sticks worse and sometimes it'll stick in the middle of a trip. It sticks in the upward position on the 2nd to 3rd shift, and sometimes it don't want to let go. Last time it stuck in the upward position an hour into a trip and stuck bad enough to make me grab the clutch and coast to a stop and start stomping to get the shifter to let go. Figured if I stomped and it broke, least I would probably have found the problem. Then it worked fine the rest of the day.
Any one have any ideas as to what to look at in the trans ??
Thanks
