Steering Column/Gear question

Another thing I would do is to spray some PB Blaster into the opening where the shift lever goes into the column, in the cab. Be sure and hold a rag under it if you have nice carpet. Spray above and below the lever then pull it up towards you, then push it back down towards the dash a few times.. I have found that the shift lever hangs up in that area and a good shot of penetrating oil/lube helps a lot. The lever has to move up and down to shift through the gears and make it lock into the detents.

Thanks LockDoc. I'll try that out as well.
