Been noticing a challenge getting it into 4th for about a week in my '75. Now, fully impossible. Where do I start looking first? Thanks.

Trace the shift linkage rod from the firewall to the shift console on the transmission. Check for loose play, worn/missing bushings, or damage to the rod itself. Mine once separated where the rear half could rotate freely from the front half.

I assuming it's supposed to move that freely??? |
