Stuck in Reverse
First time post. Thanks for helping in advance. I got in the 76 this morning after a nice drive yesterday just to find that it is permanently in reverse. I put the shifter in neutral, released the clutch, and I moved backward. Put it into first then the car began to stall out. I guess forward and reverse don't work at the same time. Anyway, I cannot get the shifter back over to reverse either. I am stuck in and out of reverse at the same time. Any help would be appreciated.

Your solution kind of worked. Come to find out my trans would not shift out of reverse at all. So, I disconnected the rod from the lever, put the shifter in the proper, reverse, position, then tried to shift again. No good. I walked away for an appointment then it worked. Go figure? I ordered, as per forum suggestions, a shift rebuild kit. I also adjusted the clutch linkage as per forum suggestions. Seems to be good so far. Thanks for everything.
