Hi,
Rookie here (1973) - I think I went to quickly from first into reverse and initially the car didn't move anywhere. After a few attempts, it did move, but forward which at least allowed me to get into the garage. I did some research and it looks like I just need to remove the shifter rod from the linkage for 1-2 and manually move it to neutral. If I move the shifter now, I can move reverse in and out but not move over to neutral or any other gear.
My question is, does that sound correct? If so, do I need to jack up the rear or can I just remove the cotter pin and put into neutral?
Here is a pic, it's a little hard to tell but the 1-2 is not quite vertical, it's a bit forward.
Thanks for helping a newbie out
