[Chevelle-list] 66 SS 4 speed Muncie Shifter problem

[DonnieG67@aol.com]

I have a member with a 66 SS with a 4 speed Muncie shifter problem...  here's 
his Email... any suggestion/comments would be appreciated... Thanks in  
advance!
 
I have a 66 SS with a 4 speed Muncie, my problem is this.... for  several 
years now my trans locks up between gears & requires me getting  under the car to 
move one of the shift levers to release the shifter/trans to go  into gear.  
It also has always necessitated going into 3rd gear prior to  any shifting 
particularly reverse.  I have a Muncie shifter which has been  replaced with a 
new unit however, I preferred to keep the car as close to stock  as possible so 
didn't want to replace it with a non matching Hurst.  Now  I'm beginning to 
wonder if the shifter is the problem at all or if the  source of my trouble is 
coming from the trans itself. 
 
If anyone out their in CHEVELLE LAND has experienced a similar problem  & can 
recommend a course of action please advise.  I would hate to pull  a GOOD 
factory style shifter out & replace it with a NON STANDARD Hurst if  the real 
source of the problem is the transmission. Any thoughts anyone.
