Twistgrip's 69 F3 340 GTS Resto
Finally got the shifter to disengage, crazy slide lock contraption bad frozen after close to 50 years. Soaked in mineral spirits sprayed down with Kroil. Factory manual says use .010 feeler, yea right. I was able to fab a stouter tool from a small piece of banding material and drive it in gently with small hammer. Chucked up gear shifter with rags in vise and used flat metal bar and hammer to tap the shifter off the lever. Shifter will be brought to chrome shop this week.
