Took my 74 2.0 out for a ride and now it will only go into 2nd and 3rd gear.
I guess something in the linkage broke or came loose. Anybody else have this problem ?

Replaced the coupler bushings the ball cup, the shifter bushing under the spring, the bushing in the rear shift console, and used the red bushing from Sierra Madre for the firewall. All done. Still shifts sloppy to me but I have all 5 gears and reverse.

did you check the bottom of your shifter? maybe the spring need replacement.

Took that al apart and replaced the nylon bushing on the bottom cleaned the springs and re applied fresh grease. It is better than it ever has been maybe I had higher expectations.
