TECH TIP: At Mid America Motorworks, we’ve run into this issue more than once. On 1964–1967 4-speed shifters, wear or a buildup of dirt and grease can cause a problem when shifting from reverse to first. Instead of fully disengaging from reverse, the shifter can hang up—leaving you stuck with two gears engaged at once.

The Fix: In about 90% of cases, this simple procedure works:

1. Turn off the engine and set the parking brake to make sure your Corvette won’t roll.

2. From the driver’s side, carefully reach under the car (watch out for a hot exhaust!).

3. Locate the two long levers on the driver’s side of the transmission that connect to the shifter.

4. Pull or push both levers into the vertical (straight up) position. You’ll feel some resistance before they “pop” into place.

5. This returns the transmission to neutral. Wipe off the grease, climb back in, and try shifting into first again—you should be back in business.

Prevention: To avoid getting stuck in the future, be sure the reverse lockout pops back into its normal position before shifting into first. You’ll hear or feel it click into neutral—only then move forward into gear.
