Re: 1972 C10 2wd M20 wont go into gear

My guess is wear on the shifter. It is held in by spring loaded force. We know how to fix your problem because we have been there and done that. The first time I pulled a SM420 I got 7 stitches. A good chiropractor is nice to have. Push down real hard on your shifter in neutral and see if it moves down any . This "play" can be the issue. You may have a worn out ball and socket on the pivot of your shifter. Good to hear you did not have to pull it! Happy motoring!
