Been noticing a challenge getting it into 4th for about a week in my '75. Now, fully impossible. Where do I start looking first? Thanks.

Pulled the boot cover back at firewall and this fell out. What is it and where should it go?
And what are these "cone screws" you guys are referencing? Thanks guys! Attached image(s)

Or rather, one of them. The other screws in through the shift rod head that goes on the rear end of the rear shift rod, hiding up above the plastic boot on the side of the transmission. --DD |

Thanks Dave. Really appreciate everyone's help here! I ordered a set of brass bushings and new screws yesterday. Hopefully that fixes the problem. |
