FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

1936 Ford Pickup transmission wants to popout of second when you let off on the gas pedal. You can hold it gear with the stick. I read a note where you can add another spring and plunger to the shifter but I cannot find out where the infosmation can be found or if it even works.

You can increase the pressure on the detent within the shifter to help keep the car in second gear. This is not THE fix but merely a "band aid" approach to mask the real problem.
Does it work? A little, sure. Depends on how bad your transmission is worn.
Disassembling the transmission and replacing worn spacers / washers, gears, etc. is the proper way to fix this symptom.

A worn clutch pilot bearing or bushing is just one of many things that can cause popping out of 2 nd gear,
I would pull the trans and rebuild it or send to a rebuilder that advertises in the V8 TIMES,,,
you can pull the cover and drain the oil and inspect the gears for wear, also, drain the oil first, let it drain for a few days so all the oil runs off the gears,
so you see them better.washing with a solvent is also good for inspection,
is the trans noisy ???

You have probably a worn, or broken thrust washer. If you have a Ford chassis parts book they give a very good picture of the transmission.
I know, since I rebuilt my 1937 60hp transmission many times --- always popping out of second due to a broken thrust washer.
Caution should be a factor, since if the washer is broken, there is a small chance that a piece could be lodge in a gear and ruin more than just a thrust washer replacement.

All the above answers are OK, as far as they go. The first thing to check, though, is the detent spring itself. It may be broken, weak, or just plain missing. A simple fix with minimum cost and lost time.

farmer...the procedure you referenced can be found on page 33 of the Ford "1932 to 1936 Engine & Chassis Repair Manual."

When the transmission pops out of gear as the throttle is backed off, almost always it is due to internal wear. It can be bearings, worn forks, thrust washers, shafts, or worn/damaged gears themselves. I'd bet it is time for the unit to come out for a rebuild. If you don't want to tackle the job yourself, an expert such as Charlie Schwendler in NY does it.
