833 Rebuild - 2nd Gear Grinds Going Up and Bumps Out Decelerating

You’ll have issues with a “dirty” neutral...meaning when you move the shift lever left to right it’s not “clean”...it starts snagging on the gates of the shifter.

Ease into it. As long as neutral is clean enough that you can shift it without a bunch of effort you’re golden.

Still in the learning mode. I've been easing into the shift linkage adjustments - one turn at a time. Thought I had it nailed until a little 100 mile shake down over Tiger Mountain yesterday. High RPM downshifts from 4th to 3rtd is grinding. Lower RPM 4th to 3rd shifts are fine.

Next newbie thought, :poke: Why not adjust the linkage until neutral acts "dirty" and then shorten the linkage back up so its just clean again instead of jacking the car up over and over, and easing into it a turn at a time?
