[Spridgets] I hate it when this happens...

[Rick Fisk]

I didn't remove the shifter.  The trans is still in the car.  I just drained the oil and found the spring bits and ball in the old oil.  Took the car for a 30 mile drive last evening and it shifts and runs fine.

The trans shifts just fine, but has a dodgy 2nd gear synchro.  I'm gonna keep driving it.  It is the rolling wreck after all.  :-)
