i have a 61 ford f250 4x4 and 292 4 speed
and the problem i am having is it wont stay in 3rd gear
the syncro,s and all bearings have been replaced, what am i missing
what could be causing the problem
thanks
had this problem t98 would blow out of third under load.
the front bearing input is different from the back border parts sold me two fronts(I think or two rears i have crs) anyway one is thicker than other you have to look close, is their a lot slop in the top gear cluster? a 1/4" is to much
looking to see if I have a pic of bearings no pic
to clarify a little the gap between the input shaft and the out put shaft should not be over an 1/8"

Bearings have a BIN (Bearing Industry Number) stamped on them, these are the numbers auto parts stores and bearing shops use.
