Re: 72 PRNDL gear shift issue

I would have someone shift the truck (with it turned off of coarse) and watch the adjuster to see if it is slipping on the shift rod. If so, tighten the 9/16 bolt once you adjust it. If not the it sounds like you may have lost the rubber grommet and steel sleeve out of the shift arm at the bottom of the column. You may also have worn linkage issues. If the first thing doesn't solve your problem, then you will need to take it apart to inspect for ware. WES
