Re: Column Shift Levers Stuck - 1941 Packard 160

Thanks Howard, awesome info and photos! So, in theory, if I remove the c-clip from above the upper lever and slide the washers up, should I then be able to slide the lever itself up the shaft at all? I'm really trying to avoid pulling the column. Trying to get it drive-able again just to sell it. Sitting around in my barn with no attention is probably going to contribute to more issues like this. I think the thing between the levers in your disassembled photo is what's out of position in mine causing the lock up. I want to get the levers apart far enough to reposition that. I've already been underneath and worked all the shift rods and put the car in neutral so, my problem is just getting those two forks to operate together.
Thanks,
Alan
