Is there any way you can remove the inspection plate. If so it is probably in the shifting forks.

By the way welcome. If you do find the problem please post, so we all can get some info on this.

Or take off the shifting linkage. then try to move the shifting arms back in the nutral pos. This should do it. Make sure the shifting linkage in the nutral pos. is not tring to push one of the shifting arms in gear. On my Hurst shifters they used to have a hole that you would put a drill bit or something thru in the nutral pos. and then line up linkage

When u do this make sure there is no force on the tranny. Like the truck is on a hill and appling leverage. Push in clutch
