3 on tree / a903

Reminds me of my 49 Chevy back in HS.. ok so that was 1964. Wore out 3 on the tree. It would fly out of 1st if not held down, fall out of 2nd if not holding it, and if I stopped in 3rd it would all lockup and require the raise the hood and massage the linkage deal.
But my buddy had an old Ply was it. with a hole cut in the floor and he shifted by reaching the levers.
Hope this helps!!!:thankyou:
