OK?! OK. first of all... what exactly do you mean by this (above) ...it 
doesn't really make a whole lot of sence...Second... you said that you 
could move the shift rod, but couldn't move the "hockey stick"... WHAT 
is this "hockey stick" you are talking about :(
 
you said "hockey stick" and shift rod in the same sentence.... but the 
only thing I can possibly think the "hockey stick" could be, would be 
the shiftrod and  shifter cup together as a unit (kind of a crude hockey 
stick tho) OR maybe you are trying to discribe the nipple of the 
transmission (not really shaped like a "hockey stick tho). WHAT are you 
talking about??? 

I have replaced numerous shift rods, couplers, and trannys... I could 
probbably help you if you where a little more explicit about what you 
are talking about and tried to use proper terminology (it would make it 
alot easier for others to help you then too). :)

I would be MORE than happy :) to help you but I've got to know what you 
are talking about.
