Hello all....I have a transmission problem looking for your input.

The car is: 1983 300DT 49 state car 4 speed auto.

The trouble is: when I manually shift down from drive into second/third and then try to shift back to drive I either have to go to neutral then back to drive or put counter clockwise pressure on the stick to get back to drive. If I don't do one of these the car remains in second/third.

My first guess is this would be nothing more than a linkage issue. What do you all think?

Thanks for your time.

Bill
