Busted shifter linkage....help!!!!

[davidwinchell2 at sprynet.com (David L. Winchell, II)]

A couple of weeks ago I posted a similar question to the list as I had also
lost second and fourth.  The thought was linkage and last weekend I checked
all the linkage and everything was fine.  All still attached with no visible
reason for the problem.  After checking everything out I could shift in to
second and fourth if I jammed it in, but it would not go readily.  I have
some time again tomorrow to get under the car and look for other
possibilities.  I am hoping mine is not the same, but I am thinking I will
have the same bad luck.

Al, Feeling like a road trip to Charleston to do some welding?

I was afraid of that. My front mount is pretty recent, but my rear
tranny mount is pretty squishy. I was planning on replacing it soon,
guess not soon enough. Time to find a welder!
