Stuck shift lever....wtf? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

On my 66 GMC, the column shift lever (powerslide automatic) is frozen in the D position. I mean it's rock solid stuck. I loosened the nut on the clamp for the arm that connects to the transmission and I can move it up and down easily (valve body working fine and easy thru the gears, shift lever still stuck with clamp loose). I soaked the column/mechanism with PBR and WD40 and let it sit for a couple days, but it's still frozen. Anybody ever run into this?
