60 buickrod; I would try some graphite on the linkage where it goes into the tranny, try wiggling it around. See if that wont loosen it up, if not the problem could be internal. [Don't use WD-40 on it.] The WD will eat up any O-rings that may be on the linkage going into the tranny. Hope this helps you.

P.S. Make sure you block your wheels so it doesn't roll down on you.

Thanks! It's the most metal forming I've done. I was wishing I had an English wheel and a planishing hammer.
