Thank you for your update =E2=80=93 still good information.
=C2=A0
The basics with the Ford shifter is that it can be a little weak.
Seems to me when I worked my shifter; I inspected all the parts for straigh=
tness, rough edges and wear =E2=80=93 repaired as required
Keeping all the working parts parallel is important
If using 2 spring washers for added spring force or adding an extra washer =
or shim keeps everything parallel then do that
I remember stretching the big main spring on the shifter some to increase t=
he spring force =E2=80=93 an extra washer or shim there would do the same
Lube the working parts
=C2=A0
Install shifter and follow the alignment procedure =E2=80=93 I think I went=
through this procedure twice =E2=80=93 1st time to set everything in place=
then rowed through the gears a couple of times then the 2nd alignment proc=
edure =E2=80=93 I think there was a slight offset which I corrected and all=
was well
=C2=A0
Some linkage parts are available =E2=80=93 C5ZZ-7285RPK =E2=80=93 the parts=
that attach the shift rod to the shifter levers
I=E2=80=99m thinking the kit you used had more parts.
If there were any instructions =E2=80=93 please share them with everyone.
=C2=A0
The gearshift lever has trunnion set =E2=80=93 2 steel plugs and 2 springs =
=E2=80=93 I stretched these 2 springs=20

did it 5-6 years ago before my stroke so a bit fuzzy....it was a kit either=
from kee or toploader heaven....there are wave type washers i think that g=

to 3 with basically no help just push it in gear...kit had all new bushings=

Do you have a part # for the kit you used?
Is it still listed in the David Kee catalog or do you have to ask for the k=

Do you have more description of what you did to the stock shift linkage?

Ron is right.=C2=A0 I had the same problem when my Tiger was factory new.=

=A0=C2=A0 I believe I=E2=80=99ve been there and sometimes still happens.
The linkage is stuck in reverse gear position.=C2=A0=C2=A0 If you put it ba=

=C2=A0 I found that worked after getting under the Tiger a couple times to =

=C2=A0
I believe this problem is all in the shifter mechanism.
=C2=A0
I=E2=80=99m not exactly sure how I reduced this occurrence, it was 20 years=
ago, but here is a go at it.
I believe I took the shifter mechanism out =E2=80=93 cleaned it =E2=80=93 i=
nspected it - lubed it and I stretched the spring a little.
I also replaced the trunnion on the shifter.
Assemble the shifter =E2=80=93 check and adjust the shifter linkage as requ=
ired.
=C2=A0
That worked for me =E2=80=93 only once in a great while does the shifter ha=
ng up now.
=C2=A0
Hope this helps with your problem
