Re: column shift linkage frozen

Virtually identical linkage so I wouldn't be surprised if you don't have the same problem I did with my 47. Mine was fairly well corroded and almost a solid piece. If it isn't already rusted completely, you may have some success with penetrating oil at the problem spots but I wouldn't count on it totally freeing up without disassembly.

Whatever you do, do not try and force it free with the inside operator lever. Someone in my car's past did and broke the pot metal upper piece. I was able (I think) to repair mine but time will tell if it was a success.
