Console shifter in 1st / L

[Canadian1968]

Simple question.

Original 68 charger with console shifter.  When you manually put the car in to L or 1st gear.  Should it "lock" into 1st? By that I mean the shifter itself. When I move the shifter all the way down it never really "clicks" in 1st . The car does leave in 1st , I can slide up the shifter and and will have an very noticeable click into 2nd, and finally up into D. 

Wondering if the linkage is about out of adjustment ??

no it will move all the way to neutral ,

Sorry maybe I didn't explain it right.

This is with car sitting still . If I have the shifter in D, I can press the button and move it down to 2, it will click into position.  Now if I push the button again and move it down into 1st , it will move down but basically bottom out with in the console , it doesn't really click into the lowest position

My '74 SE with Slap Stick shifter does exactly the same thing so I expect that is normal operations.  From first there is no sifting direction other than into second so seems logical to me.

My 68 does the same thing. Tried adjusting linkage but did not change.
