Shifting Problems

I'm having problems with the column shift in my '65.
Unless I move the shifter v e r y slowly into 3rd gear the shift arm does not move. 2nd gear engages okay with the trans under load but pops into neutral whenever I let off the power.
Could this be a faulty shift tube or something simpler like bushings?
Thanks

Most likely it is the bushings are worn the heck out, and possibly needs some adjusting once you replace them, but I would start there.
