Do you have the reverse lockout plate in the right position? If you don't, this will give you problems trying to find first gear.---mark Eric Woodall <type2list@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Dudes and Dudettes, Finally I have reached the end of my rope trying to diagnose my Tranny problem with my '66 Deluxe... What seems like first gear on the shifter is not first gear! If it is first gear, then I probably need either a new tranny or a new nose cone, but I am not sure! Can I please get some help from any split bus experts in the houston area? I've got food, beer, and whatever else you may require!
