The car was completely restored and not moved much afterwards. All rubber parts are new.
My experience is that new parts are not of the same quality as the originals.
I have often experienced that engine or gearbox mounts were broken again very quickly.
So I will soon take the car on the car lift and check the mounts
I am still looking for the reason why the 3rd gear jumps out.
Is there anything I need to be aware of when I unscrew the gearshift balls and springs to check them?
Will oil leak out or is the spring so strong that it will jump towards me?
Thanks Olaf
Is there somewhere the dimensions needed to make an overcenter spring gauge?
Or is there a guide on how to adjust the spring without the gauge?
I want to adjust my clutch because I only have 1/4" pedal play.
But without the exactly adjusted spring I can't adjust it.
I don't know where it is misadjusted. There are two adjustable push rods and the clutch pedal stop screw
I have now adjusted it,
I think it's a little better, but it still jumps out of 3rd gear from time to time.
I think next I will check the selector ball springs.
If they are ok too, I think I have a bigger problem.
Could the transmission gears be so worn that the gear jumps out?
I can't imagine that the engine and transmission are not properly centered, as the problem never occurred until yesterday
Thank you for your assessment, i hope itis such a simple mistake. I am also surprised that it started once. That would of course explain it if the levers have become misaligned.
Since today the 3rd gear of my 1949 Dodge Wayarer 3 speed manual drive jumps out.
Whenever I accelerate or brake with a gear engaged.
It started doing this all at once. It has not gotten progressively worse.
Do you know what this could be?
Thanks Olaf
Thank you very much for your answer.
That is an interesting solution.
Perhaps you have a few more detailed pictures.
Did you build the towbar yourself, or is it a ready-made part?
I would like to tow a trailer with my 1949 Dodge Wayfarer.
But I don't have a trailer hitch.
Is there any chance of finding a trailer hitch for the Wayfarer?
Greetings Olaf
How do I fit the cowl vent sealing rubber.
I ordered it from Andy bernbaum and can't see any way of gluing it in.
I put it in once and closed the cowl vent, it was much too high.
I can't imagine that this is the way it should be.
Has anyone used this seal before?
Does it compress over time?
Does anyone know the number of the front outer wheel bearings on the 1949 dodge wayfarer?
I ordered some things from andy bernbaum, including the wheel bearing. unfortunately i ordered the rear one by mistake.
I don't want to pay that much postage again.
Maybe I can find the bearing in Germany.
I mean the number that is printed on the bearing
