1966 Plymouth Valiant Shift Linkage Help

Sounds silly, but have you lubricated the linkage and checked the fluid level in the transmission? Also, after all these years- there is going to be a bit of play. Too much and shifting is tough.
Also, check clutch adjustment - if the input shaft is still spinning it can cause shifting issues. Many parts to consider especially with column shifted cars. Very cool set up and Welcome aboard!

Thank you! This is a great group to be a part of. I have lubricated the linkage, I replaced the clutch less than 500 miles ago And the fluid level in trans is good. It shifted fine with the new clutch and just recently started doing this. I was assuming it’s linkage issue because that’s where it seems to be getting stuck. Maybe I’ll try a thicker grease. Do you happen to know if there is supposed to be some sort of rubber bushing where the shift handle goes into the steering column?
