My '60 BN7 came fitted with a W-series Toyota 5-speed gear box. A decade ago I discussed in this forum my effort to solve a shifting problem that turned out to be a missing nylon/plastic bushing in the shifter tower. After years of excellent service, yesterday I encountered a new issue. After driving about eight miles, I found I could not shift into 5th gear. The lever came up hard against something when I made the move to the right. I've always found that shift a bit challenging to get right, but suddenly the lever could not push into 5th. I had to make the remainder of my drive home in 4th.
Here's a likely diagnostic clincher: at home I discovered I had exactly the same problem trying to get into reverse gear. The lever came up hard against something and did not engage. I'm pretty sure this requires an adjustment to the shifter mechanism. Can this be done through the shift tower, or by removing the top assembly, etc?
