Shifter wont go to reverse.
Anyone know how to remove the shifter on a 73 with a 4 speed. It wont go into reverse and I can see where it is being prevented from moving but need to take it out to get to it.

Hi Joe,
I saw your post when I was looking at the " Auto Extras & Memorabilia" board postings and read it there.
I see you have posted in the Tech board now so you got it figured out.
Good luck and hope you get an answer soon.

The reverse lockout rod ( T Handle) can break and when that happens the rod is stuck in place, so eventhough you are pulling up on the T handle it is not moving to get the shifter into the reverse slider.

Hey, I got lucky, not sure how I did it but it worked. Also, I found the problem. It was a broken spacer in the shifter assembly. Ordered a new one so hopefully it will fix the problem. Thanks for all the help
