Tech question regarding grinding going into reverse

I had a 1980 Cheyenne 3-speed on-the-tree with a straight six, and at one point the linkage would sometimes grind and get stuck between reverse and 1st. I could jump out and yank it down, but that gets dicey when you're late going somewhere. I eventually was able to afford to get it fixed, but it made for an interesting summer in the meantime.

Sorry, the old gal has been gone since 1987, when I went into the military.
