There is a flexible coupler attached at the nose of the transmission. they do 
wear out and will cause shifting problems. there are also 2 bushings on the 
shift rod where it goes thru the tube. but to change the bushings you have to 
pull the engine and tranny. the coupler can be changed by just crawling under 
the tranny.To change the coupler you will need a pair of pliers, wire cutters 
(to remove the safety wire) 8mm wrench and a screwdriver to help get the 
coupler off the 2 shafts (beer doen't hurt either). the bolts that hold the 
coupler in place are pointed so there is no problem with having to realign 
anything.

    I've had to deal with shifters on bay windows before. A couple of things to 
check are 
   
  1) The nuts that are welded to the floor pan under the shifter still 
attached? 
  2) Have you greased the shift rod where it goes thru the tube thru the body? 
  3) Are the couplers in good shape? 
   
  Any one of these will cause you a lot of problems.
