my 69 has a 4 speed muncie with a new hurst shifter. worked great for about a year, but suddenly its giving me trouble, sometimes. at a full stop i have to force it into 1st. shifts better while moving. had to shut off the motor to get it in reverse. then later today it was working fine. at least the forward gears anyhow. any ideas thanks
If you believe in the saying: "Can't find it then grind it" then your Syncro rings are worn.
When you mean you have to shut the car off because it would grind hard if you forced it or you just push on the shifter and it feels like a brick wall? I wonder if your clutch is sticking to the pressure plate.
