Carrier shifting issue

[Jim Burrill]

Thanks for all the references and help!

In this case, we have not had the engine out since it came from the previous owner. He did say he had trouble going between 3rd and 4th, but otherwise the shifting is all functional.

After some engine cleanup - oil change, cleaned and resealed gas tanks, rebuilt the distributor ( Diver Helmet) and some carb cleaning it runs pretty well and has power.

But the whole tranny issue is new to us. Will see about the replacement shift fork from Mac's Auto and then see how bad the gears are. Usually 4th is pretty un-chewed.... especially compared to 1st.

A carrier Driver from the Middlesex Independant Machine Gun detachment with the 49th Div told me from D-day(+19) to VE day, he rarely had his carrier in 4th. Lots of 1st and 2nd convoy conga-lines.
