My shifter is stuck...
Long story short, I pulled my console out a couple of days ago and was pulling the shifter around while doing it, and when I finally got the console out the right way, the shifter is jammed up now.
I have a 1980 635csi Euro with the dogleg trans. I seems to be stuck in the forward left gear, which I'm not familiar with yet, as I just acquired the car. I tried rocking the car while wiggling the shifter, but it didn't help. What can I do? Thanks, Cale |

IS this a manual or automatic?

And you cant pull it down?
I would check all the linkage to make sure that nothing is caught in there, preventing it from moving. |

I got under the car and there is nothing touching the linkage that looks out of place... I can't figure it out....

Did you check all the joints to make sure they are not siezed?

They don't appear to be...I had rowed through the gears several times before that to see what it felt like. I did find out though that the previous own had installed a short throw shifter, if that makes a difference.
