Well...the car is stuck in the 1st/Reverse plane....no manner of adjustment will move the shift arm to 2-3-4-5....

Shift arm is not binding, set screws are tight. I can manually rotate the shift arm clockwise, but the shifterdoes not...

Shifter mechanism looks fine, almost as new...what am I missing here??????

TIA

Something I just recently learned, the seat belt bolts are of different length. I put the longer bolt in the driver's receiver unit and it extended so far into the tunnel that it prevented the the shift rod from moving and rotating into 4th and 5th gear. I can see that adjustment modifications or an even longer bolt would have prevented it from shifting into 2nd and 3rd as well.
