<VV> 65 4 speed transmission problem - looking for MORE suggestions

[BBRT]

Let's see. When in neutral, ideally, the input shaft still turns (the clutch 
is engaged and clamps gear to flywheel), the cluster gear turns, but no 
gears are supposed to be engaged. With the clutch in, the input shaft is 
supposed to stop turning.  Releasing the clutch in neutral, spins the shaft 
and as above, the shaft spins with no drive gears engaged. In reality, if 
the car is on jack stands, apparently due to friction, sometimes the wheels 
will turn. Why? Friction? Seems like a synchronizer is gummed up and is 
still turning a gear. If in neutral, however, due to the weight of the car, 
a synchronizer releases, the gears should stop turning.
Appears a gear is engaging.  Could be a couple of things. First, the easiest 
is the linkage is not getting trans input shaft all the way into neutral. 
Probably the coupler; loose pin hole, loose coupler or possibly worn shifter 
at bottom of shift lever under floor of car.
If not that, then next, worn shifter forks in the transmission. Next, worn 
out sychronizers.

Someone correct me if I am missing something, please.
