72chevyfleet · 09-23-2010, 01:15 PM

lilMis71 · 09-28-2010, 04:04 PM

Will it shift if you line up the two "ears" on the column? I've seen it happen a few times where the column gets really worn so that "sloppy" shifting will cause the linkage to get hung up. It seems to happen if you don't shift carefully between first and second........when you pass through the middle as you are shifting up and back, it tries to move both levers at once and ends up hanging in between.

Usually, all it takes is to pop the hood and manually move the two "ears" on the column until they're parallel, then you can get back in the cab and shift normally. You have to make sure you shift carefully so it doesn't hang up again.

That may or may not be the problem.......or the fix......but that's the only thing I've seen that is similar to the symptoms you described. I hope it helps.

lilMis71 · 09-29-2010, 07:26 PM

we tryed that and he actully broke it. have to either fix the coulm or but the shifter on the floor
