The toploader 4 speed in my 67 is starting to give me problems. Actually, it started in my first 67 about 8 years ago. But I hadn't had it in a car for about 8 years. First car got totaled and I just got another about 2 years ago.
Anyway. Occasionally it is hard to pull into second gear and it always is hard to downshift into second no matter if I'm in 3rd or 4th. I have to work the shifter back and forth between 1st and 2nd a couple of times to get it to engage. But it never grinds when doing any of this. I've tried checking and adjusting the linkage a couple of times. It's even a different shifter than the first car had. Hurst comp plus. Shifter isn't new though. Is it the syncro going bad or something else?
