Have a t19 in a 1975 Scout. It is hard to get into 3rd gear most of the time. I'm kind of used to it, but you have to come out of 2nd gear, then kind of do a question Mark type jiggle and hook it into 3rd almost where first is. If it doesn't go in the first time, you pretty much have to skip 3rd or go back into 2nd and try again. Doc suggested it might be a loose bolt holding a shifter fork. Pulled top and the forks are roll pinned to the shafts and tight. Only thing that I noticed was there seems to be excessive play where the short dowel pin that comes in from the side of the shift cane retainer on top of the tranny engages the slot in the half ball pressed on the shifter cane. It's a new dowel pin, looks like the slot in the half ball is where the loosenes is. No other problems with the tranny, but this is very aggravating. Any suggestions?
