Re: 3 speed column shifter issue

Block the wheels and put the shift lever in neutral. Spray some PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, or something similar (not WD-40) into the steering column, where the shift lever goes in (in the cab). Don't be afraid to give it a good dousing. Now spray the levers under the hood. After you spray everything pull the shift lever up toward you and push it back down toward the dash. The knob should move up and down a couple of inches. Do this 4 or 5 times. This will help free up any sticking in the upper shift lever tube. The reason the shift lever moves up and down is because it should be pulled back towards you to shift it into low and reverse and towards the dash to shift into 2nd & 3rd..
