Default Re: removal of shifter plate on 41 ford transmission

Often enough only the shift levers are causing the issue described. I'd suggest removing the shift rods from the transmission levers and with the rear wheels off the ground, have someone rotate a tire back and forth just a bit while you attempt to unlock the levers on the transmission.

If this does the trick, check the bushings at both ends of the rods and replace as necessary.
