Hi all! My name is Jim.
I just bought a 74 1.8 I am in process of getting it titled (hasn't been titled since '04). Once that's finished, the first order of business for the car is to fix the transmission issue. It's not a linkage problem, because I can manually shift the side-shifter from under the car, but it just won't get out of gear. Had to disconnect an axle to get it off the trailer. Interesting thing though... the (interior) shifter will feel like it's going into gears and neutral, but it's not really. Hoping someone has run into this issue before and knows what it is without me having to even pull the tranny. |

If it rotates with the engine, and the rod goes fore/aft/in/out then it is stuck in gear on the inside. This needs opened up and fixed.

If I were to obtain another (working) tranny, what would my broken one be worth? That entirely depends on the type and condition of the internals ... Anywhere from $0 to $big $bucks if it is a custom build race box with a LSD and some rare gears inside. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
