1974 3 speed on the floor question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just got a 74 that came with a column shift 3 speed. the PO I bought it from (I think) moved it from column to the floor.

The problem Im having is that when I shift from 1st to 2nd the shifter wont easliy return to neutral so that I can move into 2nd.

In other words, its the 2 plates that are suppose to line back up( that the linkages are attached to) arent lining back up so I have to hunt for neutral and then hunt for second.

Its hard to explain. It seems that I missing something what I have no idea.

Anyone have this problem? Anyone have a picture of their shifter base and/or where the linkages attach to the shifter?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
