I THINK there is a piston and push rod behind the VM that can come out 
accidentally when the VM is removed. I think it is more likely to be removed by 
the owner for curiosity's sake and perhaps it could have been forgotten. When 
you open the pan (and drain the ATF) you should also remove the VM and feel in 
there so verify that there is a small dia pushrod that would fit down inside 
the throat of the VM.

I suppose it is also possible that he broke that push rod off.

If he replaced the VM, it is probably not the correct one, nor has it been 
properly adjusted. I can send you the correct part # from home tonight. This 
was a 71, right? This problem alone should not keep it in 1st gear.
