I have a 76 chevy c10, The gears get stuck or the pin keeps the gear in place. Right now its stuck in reverse. The gears are very hard to shift. What can I do also to drain the Trany where do i find what kind of oil to put back in. This use to be a automatic and the prevous owner turned it into a 3 speed manual. What can I do to find this information.

Are you sure it`s not the linkage thats getting stuck. I had an old pickup that use to get stuck when shifting from reverse to first. I`d have to pop the hood and pull on one of the shift linkages to get it unstuck.

Does the truck have a floor shifter or a column shifter?
