I just got a '74 Dart Swinger 318/auto yesterday and after putting in a new distributor the thing runs and drives great. The only problem I have is that it won't go into 3rd gear no matter what the speed. The transmission seems to work very smoothly otherwise although it was a little low on fluid when I got it, took care of that immediately of course. I thought that possibly the shifter linkage was misadjusted, so when driving I played with the shifter position but still it wouldn't shift. I even put it into neutral and then pulled the shifter down until it went into gear but still no 3rd. I took it out onto the highway at 60 mph then let completely off the gas, no 3rd. Has anybody out there had similar problems or have any advice? Other than this the car is great... 60K original miles and perfect except for sun damage to the front seat and paint, the paint is buffing out nicely. Green with black vinyl top in excellent condition. Oh yea, it was only $375!! I obviously want to keep this one.
