    To all who responded. Thank you so much. As mentioned by another member, I believe the discs are not releasing since the transmission sat out of the car for many years. I will let you know when I solve the problem.

    Transmission problem into neutral

    Have a Ford Model T with a planetary transmission and cannot get it into neutral. Have set the 3 clutch adjustments with the proper tool. The large spring and yoke in the transmission does operate. I’m hoping it’s something very simple that I’m doing wrong. Would appreciate any help.
