Linkage is fine. Guess I'll do a change of fluid. Thanks for the suggestions. Pic from last weekend car show. That's Mama!

Kiwi, I will check the linkage as you said. Kind of weird why it only does it when it's warmed up and driven some miles. Hope things are well down under.

Fluid is not low. Will have to have it checked out. My daughter named me "Washtubman" because we owned a car wash called The Wash Tub for 20 years.

The transmission in my 57 Star Chief is acting up. Shifts great going forward. Also, reverse is fine also, until it warms up after a few miles. Then when I shift into reverse I have to give it some gas to start it moving and then it is very jerky. No slipping, just jerky. Fluid is fine, clean and no burnt smell. Ideas?? Thanks

Russell, do you still have the original AM radio? Does that antenna bring in the AM stations? If so, could you send me info on it? Thanks -

Thanks! -
When my 57 was restored they filled in the hole for the antenna. I want to put one on, but not sure where it goes; fender or cowl in front of windshield? If someone has an original one, would appreciate a pic of the location. I don't want a rear one. Thanks!

My transmission works and shifts good except for quite a harsh shift from 2nd to 3rd. Anyone else have this situation and if so, what was done to correct it? Planning to take it to a transmission shop but they are really backed up so who knows when. They claim to have a couple old timers working that are familiar with these transmissions???? Also, would a flush be recommended or just a fluid change? I have no idea when this may have been done in the past. Any insight into this would be appreciated.

Well, here it is! Perfect no, much better, yes. Finally said I was never going to get it perfect, so I quit! I used VHT epoxy paint. Four coats and will do a couple more after 48 hours. Nice shine and went on evenly. So what have I learned? 1. Don't do this again! 2. Pay someone to do it! 3. Use a more sandable epoxy- that crap is HARD. 4. Be more careful with the dremel sanding drum. 5. Buy more Crown Royal and Coke! Appreciate all the input from you guys.
