I finally found some free time to really test the recently installed "Smitty" 5 speed. New problem: The gear box jumps out of 5th gear while traveling at speed (45-50 mph). I can hold it in gear by pushing on the shifter, but as soon as I let up on applying pressure to the shifter, it pops to neutral.
When sitting at idle with the clutch depressed, I can shift in to 5th and let the clutch out slowly, and it seems to stay in gear. However, because it is 5th gear, it stalls out when I start to move.
The gearbox tunnel is still off, so it is not interference from the tunnel.
Any thoughts? I do not want to think about pulling out the W58 gearbox.
P.S. Fingers crossed for the Bonita Springs home.
