i thin I am likely suffering from the same issue on my '76.
Lost 4th and 5th recently.

Tried adjusting the shift linkage in case the left to right calibration was off, but I noticed tons of free play between the rear linkage bar and my shift lever in the cockpit.

Is the coupling on the rear side of the firewall or inside the car under my center armrest?
Can I inspect the coupling without removing the entire linkage?

Is there a trick to removing the rubber boot at the rear of the firewall? I didn't notice any clamps and I was afraid to make a tear by pulling on it too hard.

Thanks!!

The coupling is on the rear side of the firewall. It can be inspected by moving the rubber boot which is only held onto the firewall by friction.
