I'm having a problem with the transmission in my '71 Charger. It's been driving fine since it was restored three years ago but today I took it out for a drive and the transmission is stuck in 3rd gear. I disconnected the linkage from the shifter assembly and it moves freely with no problems. I suspect the side cover assembly may be the problem because the levers won't budge at all. Has anyone had any experience with a 71 or later transmission having a similar issue? I am not a transmission specialist at all, but I would like to try and tackle this issue if I could. Can the side cover assembly be R/R with the transmission in the car or does the whole thing have to come out?
