Stuck in 3rd gear

[68swep]

On my way home from work tonight I got stuck in 3rd gear. I have 3 in the tree on my 225 slant 6. I got to work fine and part way home fine. My clutch is about 4 months old, clutch assembly, flywheel. The pedal isnt sticking. I first turned my truck off and pumped the pedal a bunch, still couldnt get it out of 3rd. Ill check my fluid levels tomorrow but any thoughts to what else it could be? Thanks!

Maybe worn bushings or other failures in the linkage/column jamming it all up.

yes shifter would be my guess

Is the shifter an easy fix or is it worth investing in a new column?

No new columns to buy. Just another old used part. Best to try to tighten up what you have, Replace bushings.
As to being stuck in 3rd gear that is a common problem with column shifters with worn parts. May have to disconnect rods at trans to put into neutral and then rehook everything back up. Taking extra care shifting a worn column shifter really helps. Bin Der, Done Dat myself.
