You might see marks, in this case you must fit the brackets to lift and rise Fenders with trannycover, not much but just enough. I can ask my friend who discovered this issue twice, if he has pic's, as my Project cord is missing them too.
I would LOVE to see what these pieces look like. There may actually be such parts in my boxes of pieces and parts waiting to be identified! With reassembly of the car on the nearer-than-ever-before horizon, I'd sure like to know what they look like!
Thanks,

Also are the front wheels still turning (slightly) as you are trying to get into first? Have you tried pulling the trans cover (sheet metal) to see what the shifting mechanism is actually doing when it won't go into first. Does the cross shift lever move to the side? Does it try to pull into gear?

When the car is cool/cold almost all the shifting works fine. After driving awhile getting it to go into first starts to be sporadic. After things get really warmed up it will rarely go into first.
The problem seems to take two forms. Sometimes it simply doesn't go into first. Others it is hard to tell because the clutch pedal seems to get stuck and will not release.
Shifting into second and letting the clutch out until the car rolls a bit and then trying first again sometimes seems to get it to go. At other times nothing I have tried will convince it to go into first again after it is well warmed up.
Going into the other gears is usually trouble free. Occasional clashing but rarely.
Everything was gone through and rebuilt when I did the restoration several years ago but this problem has always been there
