Not good. It occurs when trying to go forward after putting it in reverse It won't go into any forward gear. Did I perhaps bend something getting it back into the tunnel on replacing the motor? I didn't do anything to the tranny when out of the car. I did clean it up and repaint before re-entry. It was suggested that I cleaned it too good and it needed to be relubed on the rods and levers. That did seem to help but it still gets stuck on occasion and I can release it by putting it back into reverse. That is the good news. I had to get under the car and hit the lever before to pop it out of gear. The levers all line up where they should be under the shifter. Fluid level is good. Is the fluid correct( valvoline gear oil--high performance 80-90w )? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
