I have a problem with the shifter on my '74 Midget. It shifts just fine when the transmission is cold, but once it warms up, things get a little strange. Shifting between neutral, 1st, and 2nd is jus

Grrr.... Mine used to do the exact same thing in both second and fourth. I never gave it much thought, regarding it just as a minor nuisance - I could barely hear it over my Concours d'Alarm grand ch
