Hi there people with the older trucks.

I have a friend in Belgium that has a 64 GMC with a Saginaw 3 Speed.
He wrote to me in German so I am going to try and translate his problem as best as I can.
Sure hope somebody has a good answer. Thanks!

First he said it always jumps out of 3rd when he hits the gas or goes uphill.

The other is he sais when he is shifting from 1st to 2nd he sais it gets stuck between the 2 gears. After he shakes the crap out of the shifter he can go ahead and shift. He sais the worst thing is, is when it happens at a light.

Here is what it looks like:
