Well im building my 87 T and i had to move it the other day but, i cant get the damn thing out of gear. It acts like its jammed. I can move the shifter from 2nd to neutral...but it's still in gear. I found that if you push in the clutch pedal it will dis-engage, but it wont come out of gear at all.

What could be the problem?

The guy i got it from started to pull the shifter out but didn't. I put the bolts back in it but after i had put it into gear. Would that have anything to do with it ?

HELP !

Remove the bolts that hold the shifter into the case and remove the shifter. Make sure that the shifter bottom bushing is sitting in the little cup. Most likely it popped out of the little cup.

its prolly jammed into the shifter linkage, wiggle it around and keep pulling. how hard were the bolts to tighten? sounds like it wasnt aligned propperly when installed

The holes lined right up w/o any problem. It feels like its stuck under something towards the front of the top shifter plate. Like there is a bolt in it but i checked, and there's not.
