Looks like the old turtle van going to need a transmission.  I'm having
major trouble getting into 4th and sometimes 3rd gear.   The linkage
checks out. I removed the shift arm and tried shifting the trans. from
underneath.  Its very stiff like there is something jamming it up.   If
anyone has any ideas as to what may be the trouble or has a good used
replacement, let me know.  Thanks.  Take care
