I hated when mine was 3 on the tree.. It would also jam at the most inconvenient times. usually between first and second. When it got bad, I would have to pull over and beat on the linkage under the hood to free it up. I drove with it on the column for about 3 years. then hurst on the floor for another 19 years.
Now it is being converted to an C4.
Can't wait to get it back on the road and be done with shifting.
