Hi Dan,

  I was indeed referring to the thin shoulders. Everything else in 
within specs. It was suggested that this might have been done as part of 
the crank balancing procedure. I don't know about that.

Thanks,

Chuck

Subject: Push button problem..

Hi to all, 

I have been messing around with my '58 300 D a little over the last few
days.  The dash and steering column are completely out of the car.  The
push button selector is just hanging by its wires and cable.  

The problem is that the car had previously been in neutral, so I could
crank it, etc.  Today I was playing with the selector, pushing the gear
selector buttons in and out to make sure the springs were working, etc..
There is also a bar that goes over the top that also moves back and forth
and I was manipulating that as well.  Anyway, later today I decided to
crank the car.  Thank God the drive shaft has been disconnected at the
back end!!  I could hear the transmission turning the shaft!  I was sure
that I had put the selectors back as I had found them.  Well, I tried the
selectors again, this time making sure I had pushed the neutral/start
button in and that it "caught" in the correct place, but the car is still
in gear.  Is there something special I need to do to get the car back into
neutral?  What am I doing wrong here?  I have no real experience with
these push button selectors.  

I have had the car in storage and just brought it home on Wednesday to
stay in my garage, so this is the first time I have really been able to
play with it.  Thanks for all help in advance!!!

Dean Mullinax
