Hi All,
This is my first post, so thank you in advance for any information or feedback that may assist my gear shift problem. I have a 1938 Commander convertible that came out to Australia when new as a factory right hand drive - the war broke out and luckily she stayed here in Australia. Remarkably she still only has 90000 miles on the clock. I've had the car for about 25 years after the original owner a Miss Joe Anderson who was a dear family friend and neighbour. Anyway the car has just started to play up with the vacuum assist gear change. How surprising! (an Evans I think) When shifting she is trying to pick up reverse gear when moving from first to second gear or even from second to third. I hope this is as simple as the linkage shift adjustments and not the valve and pump side of things - as previously this was working very well. Does anyone have any information/personal experience on the Evans vacuum assist unit and it's linkage adjustments that may help my diagnosis.
Kind regards from down under.
Graham
