Thanks for the input. Several have suggested that I make sure I am confident
the clutch is working properly. Of course, the transmission is out and putting
it back in is no easy matter. Not impossible, just more work. The clutch disc
and plate were all new when the transmission and engine were
redone.

No one's mentioned this, but, have you thoroughly checked the clutch
engagement? It's the first thing to check, rather than the last, when
there's a problem shifting.
BTW, since you're from N. Easton, ever run into a guy by the name of
Kevin Lawton. Used to be the librarian at the public library in N. Easton.
Cheers.
