3rd gear shift issue

I’m not reading the book AJ wrote, but he may have hit on the answer in that somewhere.

Contrary to popular belief, sometimes you just can’t use the line up pin and call it good.

If the clutch isn’t dragging (its probably not because you’d be complaining about not being able to get the transmission in gear while sitting still) you may have to make the 3-4 shift rod a bit longer.

Don‘t get crazy with it or the gate will catch when you shift it, but make it a bit longer and creep up on it it.

I’ve had to do this many times over the years to get them to shift. I don’t know if it’s in the shifter, the gearbox or both.
