68 3020. Will make it short, appreciate any help.
I rebuilt the upper shift mechanism and it was much better but would still grind reverse when going in, the transmission shift arm holes were egg shaped so I bought new ones, put the new ones on yesterday and it wouldn't start. Did some troubleshooting, wasn't getting 12V to the starter solenoid, chased down the reason for that to the neutral safety switch on the side of the transmission. I can jump that switch out and she starts fine, no more grinding in reverse, problem now is that it sticks in first until I shut the engine off, then I can pull it out of first gear.
Is there a procedure to adjust this linkage? I'm think I need to place the transmission arms in the "Park" position but then I can't get to one of the upper collars to be able to make the correct length adjustment.
