Brad, I have a similar problem with my '47-2. The synchronizers are worn
and the gears grind going from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd. No big deal,
I just double-clutch with each shift and it works fine. However, I know
that someday I'll need to have the tranny rebuilt. In the meantime, the
double-clutch does the trick.
For Oletrucks members: What's the going price for getting a transmission
rebuilt??
