This shifter problem goes back to the late 40's. The fix is to remove the load off the drivetrain on a level surface. With the parking brake applied you grab the shift levers; you lift one up and push the other one down. It's why I put a floor shift conversion in my parents 50 Chevy back in 1965. The linkage was worn out.
I'm a 72 year old geezer with experience with this so pay attention! Every car I ever owned that had "3-on-the-tree" I ended up putting in a floor shifter for exactly that reason. At the very least disconnect all the shifter linkages and inspect for wear, excessive slop, etc. sometimes you can shim up excessive slop with washers, and make sure pivot points are greased. Or just put in an automatic like I do these days. Now, get off my lawn Hippie!
Do not sell this car!
Your new imaginary nice why do you spend a couple dollars on the seat and have it repaired officially not do it yourself sent it out it would be a good choice for you guy
Keep The Nomad!!
Can you film the inspection process
Dear Dan: I just think the black Nomad would look so much better without the cartoon lettering all over it. Love what yer doin.
Dan she's making you work for her love. She wants to see if you're going to be there for her or just pass her along, so she's making you show her that you're trying to improve her life because someone left her for 25 years.
"two mad Nomads together, we got to let them get acquainted it's been a while they've never really met"... if they mate...you'll get an HHR
Good luck with getting some land, then you can build a nice big shop. I hope you don’t have to sell that car it is close to being a real gem.
Now that you have the two Nomads, side by side, you can compare the wiring to the taillights, reverse lights, etc... ;-)
Welcome to three on the tree. Brings back memories
Gotta KNOW HOW to shift that 3 on the tree !! LOL ALWAYS move that shift handle UP towards REVERSE THEN back down to neutral THEN UP to second, Those old shift linkage bushings just wear out. Love the car though !
One thing that I appreciate about a good channel like this is the amount of content that he uploads, i always have something new here to watch and to me that makes an excellent channel like this one 😊
It isn't the shifter linkage it is the person shifting the shifter. What happens is when going from 1st to 2nd you are not fully disengaging the 1st gear before heading for 2nd and the shifter becomes disengaged from the 1st/rev shifter arm before aligning with the 2nd/3rd shifter arm hence stuck in 1st! I like this car and your build content.
Count your blessings. It's a Nomad and it's yours.

I’ve been driving 3 on colum for many years. When shifting u have to go trough the gears or it will get stuck. When you went from 3rd to 1st is the problem. The bushings are wore. Run it trough the gears 123-321. Try it slow and smooth. Good luck. Love the show.
