[FC] no reverse rampside

[Joel McGregor]

My '64 Greenbrier lost reverse a few years ago. It sheared the roll pin that
holds the finger on the shift shaft or at least that is what I remember.
Now that I'm thinking about it it seems that it had a pin that I had to
JBWeld in place.  One or the other???  So if you are sure it's shifted into
the correct position you'll have to take it apart but it shouldn't be an
expensive fix.  I fixed mine in one night.  If yours failed like mine the
reverse gear is floating and it could lockup the tranny.  Mine's a 4-speed.

I have a 61 rampside 4spd that has been slipping out of 2nd gear on 
deceleration,. but now suddenly won't engage reverse. The shifter is in the
proper 
position for reverse but the trans is not engaged. The shift control rod ,
under 
the truck, couplings etc. all apear to be tight . Does this sound like an 
internal problem ?   Shifter fork ?  Where shall I start?  Any one who has
had a 
similiar problem and can tell me what to lok for?  Thank you for any help
you 
can give me !!!!!!!             Jerry Nafziger
