Just purchased an 89 Daytona Shelby that had been sitting for 20 + years in the original owners garage . One day when he was driving the story I got was that the “trans locked up on him”. I have not looked into it yet but figured I’d get some opinions before I tear into it.

if I attempt to crank the engine even with the shifter in the neutral location with clutch out it attempts to pull the car forward. If I push clutch in and crank it cranks normal .. with clutch in I cannot (even if I try to force it) get the shifter into the 1st and 3rd location. I am able to successfully put the shifter into 5th, 2nd and 4th though . I attempted starting it again after finding those gears successfully without the clutch pushed in and with the shifter back to the neutral location and it still is stuck in one of the gears…

let me know what you guys think
