Default Reverse but no Drive

I have an 84 Corvette, that will drive fine in Reverse but will not go into drive. Any ideas on what to look for?

Police I think it's illegal to do that on public roads.

Assuming the fluid is at the proper level, and does not smell burnt, adjusting the tv cable and hoping for a blocked filter is all you can do. Keep your eye on the c4 partsfor sale section. I have an upgraded (compared to the 84) 87 trans that will be for sale soon. It will be priced right.
