Problem shifting to 1st
 

Hi there,

I am having a problem shifting my T-176 to 1st when the Jeep is
rolling (like from 2nd to 1st when going uphill). It grinds like it
were a T-18 with a non-synchromesh 1st...

This started to happen after I sent the Jeep to a mechanic to change
all the transmission and transfer case bearings, as well as the
throwout bearing. I did ask him to check all synchros while the tranny
was down, but he said they were OK.

Another symptom is that as soon as I let go off the gas on 1st, the
gear jumps immediately, even on a flat surface...

Anyone have an idea what's going on? I really hope he did check the
synchros.
