Still trying to get 10440 roadworthy. John Hervey's box o' parts
arrived safe and sound today and hopefully will solve the
overheating issues. But there's also a problem with the shifting
mechanism. I can get into 3rd, 4th, 5th and Reverse just fine, but to
get into 1st or 2nd requires lifting up on the shifter. Not like lifting
to get it into R, but more like lifting the entire shift mechanism.
It's embarassing to have people stare at "that cool car" that can't
get going in gear!
Any clues? Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated.
