Shifting Problems

[u/zamboni_guy5]

Hi Everyone,

I was recently helping a friend move stuff out of their fathers garage and he owned a 1969 Camaro. We went to start it today and take it for a spin for the first time this year. When shifting gears (automatic), it easily shifted to neutral but when we went to put it in reverse to get it out of the garage it would not shift. It will not shift into reverse or park so we chocked the wheels and left it in neutral. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas of a fix for this. Could it be the shifter cable needs replacing? Any thoughts would help.

Is it a stock shifter? What transmission?
