Gearbox problem

[SBriggs]

I have a problem going from 3rd to 2nd gear in as much as it does not engage easily (only at low revs). Is there an inherent weakness or anything obvious I should be looking for? All other gears going up and down work just fine. There are no unnatural sounds coming from the gearbox, I have only noticed that the gear leaver is not rigid and can spin around.

shore up the shifter platform - under the car

"shifter restoration"

flush the brake/clutch fluid - be amazed how much better a car shifts

when the hydraulic mud is flushed out and replaced

with clear, water-free fluid in the system!

use redline MTL in the tranny and learn to double clutch. Save money for a trans. rebuild when it gets bad.
