This morning, my '79 Rabbit developed a problem with it's 5 speed
transmission.  It always has been hard to get into second gear when
very cold.  Today, on a day when it was about 15F (-10C), I had that
problem for the first time this year.  unfortunately, it didn't
improve and spread to fourth gear as well.  The car shifted
perfectly in warm weather before, but now won't go into either
second or fourth.  1, 3, 5, and reverse continue to funciton just
fine.  The lever just won't go much below the neutral position
anywhere, as if something were blocking it.

My current plans are to go over the linkage looking for blockages or
bent parts, assuming that doesn't work, anybody have any ideas?  Who
(chicago area) should I take it to if it's more than just a ben't
linkage part?  Any suggestions appreciated.14  linkage part?  Any
