    2nd on the Muncie is kinda finicky today. On the 1-2 shift, it never quite gets into 2nd (a little gear clatter, but once you turn loose of the shifter, you're in neutral). I was thinking the linkage needed to be stretched out a bit, but it seems to downshift into 2nd without issue. Did I lose a synchro ring?

    if its an aftermarket shifter, make sure the stop bolts on the shifter case are adjusted properly.

    Also, do you have the pedal adjusted right? Where does it grab on the pedal?

    This may be close to our winner. The rearmost bolt tying the shifter ass'y to the trans was missing. One more in a growing list of 'where did all the hardware go?'

    Will adjust the rods tomorrow and see where we are. Thanks for the input.
