Bloody myopia.  Lloyd

Hi
For the last six months I have been having intermittent problems putting my
85 crew cab into first.  I adjusted ad infinitum.  It would work for a while
and then I'd pull up to a stop sign with a log truck behind me and it
wouldn't go into first.  I changed the clutch master and slave - no success.
I developed a method of pushing the shifter down (like reverse) and was
finally able to get into first most times.  In desperation I ordered all the
little shifter parts shown in the Bently.  Ron at Busdepot took the time to
look them all up (8 items).  The total cost was under 40$.  Now when I brake
at an stop sign I have the confidence that I will be smoothly leaving the
intersection.  Thanks Ron.  If you have a similar problem here's what you need:
823 711 255
171 711 279   X2
823 711 199
823 711 643A
171 711 227A
171 711 107A
251 711 645

Good Luck
Lloyd
