Well my buddy bought a 85' chevy long bed with 305 and 4 spd tranny he was going to church on easter and it died goin into the parking lot .It fired right back up but wouldn't shift into gear the shifter will move but it just acts like its still in nutreal. I was thinking it could be a shifter linkage that has popped off? has anyone encountered this problem? My dad said he had a f*rd and a old 71' c10 that he would have pull the shifter out and reset the plates inside the tranny from shifting to hard? We are going tommorrow to see if we can help figure out what the problem is. Any input would be appreciated. And yes the hydraulic resivour is full.
