Re: 1972 Automatic Column Shifter Stiffness

Do any of you have a guess where I might start looking for the cause of this stiffness? Maybe this has happened before to one of you and could share where the problem was.

I appreciate any input, thanks,

I had this happen on mine. Spraying worked temporarily but I had to take it out and disassemble it, clean out the old grease and metal grindings, regrease it and put it back in. Has works fine for 2 years now.
