I've had at least one pushbutton Imperial around
since 1969 & I've always shifted from drive to reverse or reverse to drive.
I have a feeling that either the neutral or reverse buttons are loose or
seated incorrectly on the shift forks & are binding when you push neutral
first.
Remove the bezel surrounding the
buttons & gently remove it so you don't knock the rest of the buttons off
the forks. Have a look to see what's going on in there. If the buttons sit very
loose in the forks, use a small pair of needle nose pliers & GENTLY squeeze
the forks a little bit so the buttons are snug. Keep in mind that its important
to put the buttons back in the correct fork.

Subject: IML: Which side of the torsion
bar is the exhaust located/ Reverse not engaging when engine is hot?
Imperialists,
As I recall, If I am in drive and I
push reverse when the engine is hot, the same problem happens, the reverse
button pushes in, the drive button stays in, and the transmission stays in
drive. I never shift directly from Drive to Reverse, I shift into
Neutral first. I read an article in Hemmings Classic Car that where the
owner of a Chrysler with a push button transmission said that you should
always shift into Neutral before shifting from Drive to Reverse. Does
anyone know if this is necessary or not?
Also, which side of the
torsion bar does the exhaust pipe go? From the FSM, it looks like the exhaust
should be between the frame and the torsion bar. Right now my exhaust is
on the other side of the torsion bar, real close to the transmission and
shifter cable.
Thanks,
