anyone got any ideas on why my 53 wont go in reverse?
when i got it, i had to really jam it down into reverse and it would go.
wont go into park at all but i can feel it trying to hit the gears.

after my trans removal, it really wont go into reverse. its getting worse to get into gear.
it might do it when the engine/trans is cool but when it heats up it doesnt go at all.
ive tried playing with the linkage and before i could get park OR reverse when i adjusted one way or the other.
now i cant get either.

could it be the steering column adjustment?
I know the gears are there cause it will go occasionally.
