I had the shift lever out of my 41 4-speed to install a rubber boot. Put it back in without changing anything or moving the truck. When I started out this morning it wouldn't go into 3d gear (I start out in 2d). Any ideas? Is it the reverse lock-out? I didn't have time to check much since I didn't want to be late for work. Thanks, HLW

By not going into 3d, I mean the lever moves but the gears don't mesh as if you tried to shift too fast. HLW

Pulled the tight fitting rubber boot off tonight and it shifts again.

Looks like you solved this urself appears the boot is somehow keeping you from engaging part of the linkage.

I think the boot fit so tightly around the reverse lock-out rod, it wasn't letting it move enough. HLW
