The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Shift lever and fork size

I didn't measure at the time, I actually just got digital calipers while it was in the shop. But I think what happened is the ball is mostly the same size, just rounded off, while the forks have been built up to fit the ball. Wear was noticeable on the forks more than the ball when I disassembled the tower. The original symptom was difficulty getting into 2nd and 3rd gear.
