I have a 1974 that is experiencing shifting problems. The shifter will not easily slide into first. It will go into all other gears easily, but seems "blocked" from slotting into first. There is no gear grinding. If I shift into reverse first and then pull down it will go into 1st normally most the time. However, if I am trying to downshift from 2nd or above, the 1st gear position is blocked and the shift goes to 3rd gear. I am trying to understand if the problem is with the linkage, simple transmission mx like changing the gear oil or is it time for a rebuild. Thanks in advance for your insights.

For starters, pull the shifter assem, inspect the detent plate for excessive wear and clean the springs. Just disconnect the shift lever from the front rod. Do not disturb connection items at this point. Index all adj connection points with a fine tip sharpie.
