RE: 340 gears
That sounds like a car I saw at auction in Glasgow a few months back, everything sound apart from a really wobbly gear change and a non working rev counter at first glance.
As Colin said, probably just new bushings in the gear change and possibly in the linkage to the gearbox as well. at least you only need to take the propshaft out to get the thing out (See my next post about a 360, torque tube etc etc)
There is a detent bracket that moves when you lift the reverse lever and for now, you could move it to the left a bit to make driving a bit easier, you get at it from inside the car. Remove all the leather, there is a screw at the front that releases it all, and then there is a bracket, because there is so much wobble it's pointless giving you the spec to adjust it to, but just set it so that you can get into first without selecting reverse by mistake, and then get those bushings renewed ASAP.
