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 Brodie |

Oh OK, I thought it was essentially stuck in a gear.
I'm guessing it is a side shifter, if not check the bushing under the shifter. When you move the shifter left to right does it move the shaft? Did you try loosening the connection near the shaft in the tunnel and rotate it? This is the adjuster for the R/1, 2/3 4/5 shifter planes. Make sure you tighten it well after you are finished. Did this happen suddenly? |
