The rebuilt transmission in my 1932 Coupe shifts nicely when driving the car. However, sometimes it is difficult to shift out of gear into neutral when the car is on a slight hill and I have come to a stop. I have to gently let out the clutch and "lurch" the car slightly to unload the drive train to get the transmission into neutral. I have taken the top off of the transmission and with the car sitting in the garage, you can slide each gear very easily with your fingers. It is a nuisance. What is causing this problem? Thanks, Ed
