Your issue sounds like the clutch could be getting hot in the late rounds causing it to be tougher to shift out of third. Or the rod was bound under heavy load, that used to happen with my old trans and on the return road would be fine. It would happen in later rounds when the clutch was gripping hard.

Bobby, Thanks for your response. I didn't realize that part (I would call it the 3-4 shift fork) was breaking completely off. I assumed that it was doing something stupid inside like cracking which could be intermittant. I guess I'll have to pull it apart and look. Nothing worse than something that's only half broke. Can't really see how the clutch could cause this problem but anything is possible. Anybody got any ideas? When I find the problem I'll let you know. Bill Taylor Stk 1005.
