I called Floyd and they senbt me to the outfit is Pennslvania.  Ray over their said it could be the shifter is worn out.  I can find reverse and first with  a lot of fooling around with the shifter.  The shifter hold down waher, snap ring and boot are gone an other items have been cobbled into place. 
Ray suggested checking the ball on the end of the shifter for wear saying that it could bee too small allowing it to go places it should not.
Before tearing this unit all down I would purchase an inspection camera that would allo me an iside look into the trans via the shifter hole.
I've done enough &quot;jumping in too deep&quot; in the past and want to avoid more surgery than needed.
