Ocassionally gear grinding. Not often. But definitely hard to find the spot
fora particular at odd times. Has grown worse over time, until it became
impossible yesterday. I suspect linkage adjustment AT te transmission - not
IN the transmission. Have replaced a piece there before. In that case it
locked in reverse and refused to disengage. Don't think this is IN the
transmission, but need encouragement!
