3 on the tree shifting problem
Shifting is difficult on my 3 speed 6 cylinder. Sometimes a load ratcheting sound is heard when it pops out of gear. The bushings on the tranny end of the linkages were replaced but no improvement. Now I am told the bushings at the steering column end (where the shift 2 linkages connect to the 2 little arms on the steering column) probably are shot. I am told that one can use 1/2 inch door hinge bushings in the shift linkage.
Does anyone know anything about this? thanks Mark 1970 C10 ![]() |

Re: 3 on the tree shifting problem
If it pops out of gear when you let up on the gas, it might be the bronze bushing in the flywheel is worn. Cheap part, very hard to get at. You have to take the tranny off, and take the clutch and pressure plate loose to get at it. But that's what mine was doing at one time.

Re: 3 on the tree shifting problem
Have you tried adjusting the shift linkage on the end of the column? Made a world of difference on my trucks.
