I pulled on to my drive today and my '39 14 got stuck in third. Gear lever was stuck solid. I removed the remote control housing. Control shaft was able to move freely. Couldn't see anything wrong. Put it all back together and it seemed OK. Put it in reverse to turn round and it got stuck in reverse...

Thanks for ebay link. Looks nice.
