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) |

Two summers ago my transmission would get "stuck" in 4th gear because the fork would slip off and jam between the 3rd and 4th positions. This could never be popped out using the shifter. but could be fixed by manually shifting the slider with a flat blade screwdriver after removing the side shift transmission fork.
After popping the slider back this was only a temporary fix as it happened again soon after. To complete the final fix I purchased Dr. Evil's transmission video and an alignment tool from pelican parts. total of 40$ To fix I pulled the gear assembly out and realligned the shift forks offsets. Ive put on about 3k miles in sense and no problems. Hope that helps I may have pictures and there are one or two old posts on it in here use the search. |
