So I have never had any trouble until this Model A in my 74 years on earth. It presented no problems actually until I farmed out the overhaul on the tower and got a replacement instead of the one sent out. I have my idle down and it still either grinds into second or third or blocks completely into second. I am waiting on the Meropa oil to see if it helps the rebuilt tower. If that doesn't work I will not use the tower at all but I think after a year rebuilder won't want to address this. I have had PM from a couple others that have had problems with the same rebuild.Guess I will have to now invest in the tools to take shift lever out and replace on the tower that does work.

It'll be nice to know what you find.
