<< My intution says it's a linkage problem. However, in my brief exploration I was able to move the linkage freely right at the gear box. I didn't want to yank too hard and get it out of gear since I have to drive 18 miles tonight. If I'm gonna get stuck in a gear, I'd prefer to leave it in 3rd, high enough to roll home, BARELY low enough to get rolling. >>

thats what i first thought was a linkage prob in my ex-86 4spd van but it was the 3-4 gear slider hub cracked.. you need another tranny, my friend.. :<( there are a few vendors on the list who have decent prices on rebuilt ones.. chris
