Can't get it in gear...
Guys, need a little help:
Just got my car ('75) back today from the shop. I had a new 350 put in it and while it was out I went ahead and had the flywheel resurfaced and the clutch replaced. Everything was great and running smooth on the way home..or so I thought. I went to put it in the garage after rinsing it off and I couldn't get it into any gear other than reverse. I don't know what mechanism allows the tranny to go into reverse but it's almost like its stuck as I can go from R to N and back to R again without lifting up on the reverse lockout handle. Or maybe it could be something else?
Any ideas on how I can get this thing back into a gear other than reverse? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

This shouldn't be your problem if it just came out of the shop.
