I managed to work it onto the hoist, and was ready to drain the transmission to pull the shifter when I noticed a cotter pin missing on a clevis pin on those remote rods. The pin would sneak down and get jammed on a neighboring pin. Cheap and easy fix: a 2¢ cotter pin.
I had a Mustang car suddenly give me a loose shift lever and no gear change. After it was towed, and an hour of shop time, the culprit was a similarly negligible detent ball somewhere. It might have been .50¢ on the invoice.

And good discussion of how to keep old vehicles running after all the usual chatting about rebuilding them.
