Odd column shifter problem..

[Jason72Bronco]

I have stock three-on-the-tree shifter, and have never had a problem with it. Yesterday, I pulled into the driveway in second gear and was about to shift to neutral and park the car. The shifter would not move. Would not budge. I fiddled with it, clutch in, clutch out, and it would not budge.
I then moved the linkages by hand around near the transmission and in the engine bay. All of a sudden it was "unstuck" and has worked fine since then.

Any idea what would have caused this brief "stuck shifter" condition?
Seems fine now, but just want to know what to do to prevent it again.

It may have finally worn out a bit. There is a adjustmentfor the shift levers on the bottom of the shift rods. What you do is put them in the neutral position and there is a hole in each up on the column with a way to center them. At that point you adjust at the trans. That is the quick of it and there is a better write up in the facts section.
