This week I had my tailshaft out to replace the bushing and seal. When I was taking the linkage loose from the tailshaft, I believe the car was in neutral but I'm not absolutely sure.
Anyway, I put the tailshaft back in and hooked the linkage back up to it. I now cannot shift succesfully into most gears!
I disconnected the shift rods from the shifter to see if I could move them manually. I can move the 1-2 shift rod from 1-N-2 but that's it - neither the 3-4 rod nor the reverse rod will budge, no matter what position I've got the 1-2 rod in. It's almost as if the reverse rod is engaged, which would make the other rods not move, but 1-2 moves. So now I'm beginning to think that it's stuck in 3 or 4. I am positive it's not in neutral because with the driveshaft yoke in I can't budge the tailshaft. I also tried flooring the clutch a couple of times to see if it was maybe making the shift rod bind up, but it still won't move.
What should I do here? Tomorrow I'm thinking I'll have someone hold the clutch in while I try to budge the rods, but if that doesn't work I have no idea what to try next.
