Fixed ! Fixed ! ! Fixed ! !! Fabo is #1 !!!! :cheers:
Well as was told I started getting clean jugs out ready to empty out the fresh oil out of the fresh transmission. just for s**** and giggles I went ahead and just loosened the nuts around the cover just enough to get it to move, but somehow not enough to let any oil leaked out and I put it in reverse and I just lightly tapped up words on the cover and all of a sudden the shifter was shifting freely! then I tightened everything back up hook the linkage back up and "Presto"! I am extremely happy right now and eager to give the car a proper test drive tomorrow. thank you everyone!
I hope all the explanation marks aren't out of line but simple fixes like this don't come by often.
