    Hi, I recently picked up a 1966 A100 225, 3 Speed Manual (3 on the Tree). The truck is difficult to shift from 1 to 2 and I have a lot of slop in the linkage. I fabricated new bushings for the rear and tightened that up somewhat. But the front linkage at the grill and the bottom of the shifter shaft has a lot of slop to it. I want to rebuild the bushings and linkage at the bottom of the shifter shaft as best as possible to eliminate the slop and improve the 1 to 2 shift. I am not sure what bushings, spring washers, etc, I need and what their proper configuration is. Does anyone have a diagram or exploded view of what parts the front linkage includes and how they are configured? I greatly appreciate your help.

    Thank you Donivan! This is exactly what I needed. I was lucky enough to find the spring washer on Ebay.
