Friend of mine has the column shift on his 6610. 1st & 2nd, 5th & 6th work fine. 3rd 4th,
7th & 8th jump out of gear and you have slam it hard into those gears to get it to go into
gear. Under load, it stays in those gears fairly well but going down hill it will jump into
neutral. He said it started a couple years ago and is gradually getting worse. We pulled
the top cover and everything looked good but, what a job trying to get everything lined up
to it the cover back on. I have worked on Fords from 9n to the early Genesis and have never
seen such a poor shifting system as this 6610. Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem
might be? Thanks for your help. Also need a right fender. Seems that tornados are
rather hard on fenders.
