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 ?

or check the coupler too
Click to view attachmentexact same occurrence a couple months ago for me. and it was the coupler bushing like Noel shows in his pic or rather shows the lack of. if you loose that bushing you will have 2&3 and in most cases that’s it , i knew i had to be on mine before i looked because it’s the only bushing i had not changed, and for many it has not been changed due to the difficulty of pressing out the retaining pin.
be careful when attempting this it’s easy to damage the coupler.
another thread here recently with another member having same issue also discussed replacement bushings. i have 3 types but installed the bronze ones and am very happy with how tight and smooth the shifting is now.
