Guys,
super frustrated here. A new to me truck I got running after years of sitting. I drove it at my shop today and putting it in gear, It was difficult to move the shift lever towards me to drop it in gear. After maiden voyage, I horsed the lever to put it in park and "pop" now she moves free (doing nothing) and Im pissed at myself. What did I break and how easy it is to fix? I know I should have lubed the linkage at the end of the shaft but was super excited to drive it.. Thanks
