Hi Mike,
Nice jobs on the truck when you said that it hard to get into gear ... does it stop the engine and before when you got the truck was it working fine

Had to rectify the same gear sticking problem with mine as well. Was having a hard time getting gears and when I did had very little pull.

As Tony said above, my problem was with the release bearing hitting a very small ‘burr’ on the drive shaft. Once this was knocked off I was left with a new problem that I couldn’t get 4th gear. I fixed that, once I turned the gear stick round 180 degrees facing the right way!

Lucky I took before and after pictures of everything. You can see what I mean about the gear lever in the two pictures
