I have a 1946 dodge fluid drive with the manual, that has a hard time getting in to third gear it will go in if the vehicle is stopped but if you are moving it is a reel dance. Does any body know what to do to adjust /fix this? it was drivin once a mounth by the guy I got it from but that is kind of iffey. It will go in to 3rd if you put it in nutril and pop it up and down 4 to 5 times and/or jiggle the stick randomly. it will go in to therd at a stop. I have hade the car for 2 weeks and have put 50 mmiles on it mostley bringing it home and going around town

The transmission works flawlessly in R 1 2 but it is reel hard to get in to 3 I lubed the shifting linkage, adjusted the clutch linkage and it seems to be slitley better(not good yet), this may just be the car being used, or me getting the hang of the ?dance? but I think that my illuminating of the linkage is a good step in diagnosis.
