OOPS...Grog break gearshift
I took my newly acquired '69 GMC for a first-time spin last night.
It was a bit of heaven. So smooth! I was going 70 on the highway, I let go of the wheel, and it just stayed straight and true in its lane. The engine hasn't been tuned for years, and she just purred along. I forgot how smooth the L6 runs. The shifting on the three-on-the-tree was tights. At first it worked ok, but it didn't drop into gear cleanly. Toward the end of the ride I pulled the leaver toward me and something went clunk...and the leaver was waggling loose. I could still get it into 2nd and 3rd, but 1st and Rev don't work. What did I break?
