DB,
Sorry to read the latest issue with the new engine, I though after all your hard work you have done, you were due a good run of luck. But I guess if it can go wrong it will go wrong and it least you can sort it out.
But I must say its a poor show, after you have paid all that money you expect it to woek out of the box. You need to contact the manager and speak to him and ensure you get a good will treat for all the extra work.

Sounds like a worn 3rd/4th synchro hub or missing detent spring / plunger to me. Poor show.

Let's hope that once the gearbox is changed and the motor is back in it's rightful place, that silly grin will return once the Traveller is back on the road with you.
