1956 400 push-button problem. Last week after driving the car for an hour or so it would not shift out of reverse. I turned the ignition off and tried to restart it. Of course it did nothing since it was still in reverse. After the car set for a day I turned the ignition on, pushed the neutral button and I could hear the acctuator working.I started the car and put it in different gears,L,N,R,D, Sometimes it wouldn't shift. This was sitting in the garage. I eventually turned the ignition off with the car in reverse.I turned the key to start and it started in reverse.I have an old motors manual but nowhere in the trouble shooting can I find a problem like this.Any suggestions?
