Now it works like a charm! Shifts are clean and easy, reverse still needs a nudge but not bad at all, and the neutral "gate" is clear as day.

Thanks for all your advice and guidance!
As usual, Corvette Forum saves the day!
That's the way it should be. It prevents "accidental" shifts into reverse.

I guess there was a sudden internal structural problem! Glad it all worked out.

What did you follow to rebuild it? Any manual? Or did you just take it apart and remember how it went back together?
