Had the 55 Ford Customline out for a short run yesterday. Have just aquired this one.
Started up reversed out of car park then into first gear for trip home. Could not get the column change manual/overdrive gearbox to shift out of first gear into 2nd gear. Just would not budge via operating column shift. Could not get it to move. Ended up driving the short distance home in first gear with assistance of the overdrive. Presently parked in driveway while I think things out!!
Is it best to disconnect both gear change levers at the colujmn gear change assembly. Then attempt to get the side levers at gearbox into the neutral position. Or disconnect at gearbox end nd try for neutral position.
Hoping to get this into neutral position by advised method. Then to check gear change linkage once in neutral as per adjustment of gear change linkage.
Grateful for any pointers to assist with this problem.
Thanks Phil Gillespie
