I'm thinking that it's time to replace the leaking,worn out manual gear on the 55 Chev with a rebuilt manual one.The Shop Manual is very good at explain the procedure but I can't figure out if I need to remove the shifter tube and mast jacket first.Or can I take off steering wheel and pull the gear and shaft out from underneath after removing from pitman arm without disturbing anything else? Thanks for any help. Last edited by Barney; 11/13/15 12:41 AM. 60 years of golf,never a hole in one.
