Perhaps the shift cable is loose or slightly out of
adjustment. The cable travel is pretty short & being just a little off will
cause problems.
If you suspect the fluid is bad, it might be a good
idea to change it.. I don't know how long you've owned the car. If you recently
purchased, its always possible the previous owner put the wrong type of fluid in
it.

Subject: IML: '61 transmission
question
Thanks to all of you who replied to my earlier question about
unreliable and late upchange on my '61 transmission.
At the time
it looked like overheating or burnt fluid but having had more time to assess
the situation, I have discovered that the problem can be made to go away
temporarily but running thorugh the selector buttons in sequnce once or twice.
After doing this, the transmission changes gaer perfectly for a while but then
reverts to erratic upchanges. (downchanges seem to be fine)
I am
beginning to think I have some grit or other solid contaminant in the fluid.
What is the best way of dealing with this?
Best wishes,
Tony
