JoeSantana, thanks for the input. I disconnected the linkages to the shaft levers and moved the lower linkages to the transmission levers back and forth. Both moved freely. With the upper linkage to the Direct & 2nd lever disconnected (and with R - 1st connected), shifting to R and 1st was also smooth and easy. It was only when trying to move the (disconnected) Direct/2nd lever freely on the shaft that I ran into great resistance. They were/are locked tightly together. I was actually relieved to find that the problem was apparently not in the transmission or transmission levers.
