'63 Shifter problem?
Any suggestions on what to look for when the 4 speed shifter won't go into reverse? It will shift through all four forward gears with either engine running or stopped and clutch engaged. T handle raises up and appears to be functioning properly.

if unscrewing the **** doesn't work, or does, remove the shifter and clean the 50 + years of grime and rocks out of it. 
Reinstall it, adjust properly and try it again. Bet it works.

Should have mentioned that the shifter was recently removed, cleaned and lubed with the replacement of a throw-out bearing. Shifter worked fine for several weeks without a problem after that. Was hoping not to have to remove it again but may have to bite the bullet. Thanks!
