VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1912-1928 Align gears to accept shifter 28 chev 1 ton 4sp

28 chev 1 ton. Replaced clutch and related items.
The challenge now is putting the tower shifter with 3 forks back in proper position with relation to the gears.
This is a 4 speed forward, 1 reverse trans.
Something is amiss & cannot shift properly.
Next time i will take more pictures.
Truck originally from Minot ND.
thx for any help..Rob Heffernan London On Canada

Do you have a repair manual?

Remove the shift tower,first making sure the shift lever is in neutral and the reverse lockout shift latch is facing down.
If the 3 shift forks are in the proper neutral position,move the 1 & 2nd and 3rd and top sliding gears to the neutral position,using the forks as a guide,then drop the shift tower down(make sure the gasket is in place first),and you should be right to go.
If you''re still having problems,check to see if the shift fork rails have been moved out of their proper positions,because if they've been moved,the shift pattern will never be correct.

Thanks for input. I think all is good now. Time to get back at it. Too many distractions, but this is the best one..Rob Heffernan London On Can
