Default Mart's Sunday Quickie. Sloppy Shifter? Lets tighten it up! Early Ford trans fixit.

Hello Welcome to Mart's garage for another Sunday quickie.
In this video I show a simple and cheap fix for a common problem on the Early Ford gearboxes. You can improve the 1-2 cross gate shift immensely by reworking the pin and the corresponding slot in the gearstick.
It's not difficult and can be done quickly and cheaply using normal tools.
I hope you find this helpful.
Lets keep these old Fords on the road!
Mart.

Thanks for the tip Mart. It is pretty cold here also, I couldn't stay out in the shop more than 15-20 minutes today.
