fixing loose syngro shifter

[larryanderson]

Just got a 68 4020 that runs and drives fine but has pretty loose or worn shifter.Whats the best way to fix it? Will be removeing cab so it will be easy to get to.Just wondering if its better to find good used one or fix the original.Actually havent looked for problem just know it doesnt shift like it should.The gears are all there just off from where they should be.Thanks!

More than likely this piece is worn part# R52882 LATCH and you may need some of these
24H1423 WASHER AR 29/32" X 1-1/2" X 0.036"
24H1422 SHIM AR 0.018"
R26186 BUSHING
2-R26182 BUSHINGS

I've replaced the shims/bushings and welded up/ground down the 'gates' and shift lever on a few of 'em.
