By locking up you mean getting stuck in a gear? If so:
Ahhh, I had this issue on my old jeep: 81 6cyl, T-176 . The problem was the ball on the bottom end of the shifter was worn and we couldn't buy a new one (not made anymore or something???) We ended up building the ball back up with weld then grinding it to the right shape. Not a proper fix but it seemed to work. Getting a used part that is in better shape may be an easier fix.
I was explained all of this by the mechanic so I dont know any more details about it unfortunately. Good luck getting yours sorted out!

You can order the parts from Morris. -->> Tremec T176 & T177 Transmission Parts at Morris4x4
The ball is part of the shift lever if you need it.

It's #34 labled 'Shift Lever'. It's also not really a ball but a round ball type end (see the red circle).
Be sure and call Morris to verify and use out 10% discount code...
I would like to add that you really need to pull the cover and look at the parts. Without looking at them everything is just a guess and could easily lead to more down time.
