I don't want to hijack someone else's thread so here we are.
Yes! I read Dr. Evil's notes. After making an adjustment to the shift linkage I lost 1st gear during a test drive. At the start of the drive it was fine getting into 1st. Sometimes a bit crunchy but "normal" Then, after a few miles and several "stop & go's" ... stopped at a light... it turns green... go for 1st, aaand rejected. I tried a few tugs on the shifter and it was like a solid barrier. I went to 2nd and took it home. On the way I stopped a few times and tried 1st when I had opportunity. 1 time it went in with a good amount of shoving. That was last week. Now after some tinkering with the linkage and replacing the shift rod U-joint bushings, it still wouldn't get 1st. I went directly to the shifter console and I have the same problem. In and forward for 1st, Right? I can get all other gears without issue. During my "exam" this morning I was able to get 1st once with much jiggling and shoving. Once I took it out of 1st, it didn't want to go back. There is plenty of tranny fluid. I don't know what? looks pretty clean. Well there we are. I really don't want to pull the trans. Help!... again...please... |

Hey Rich, I've never tried it with the tranny in the car. Bet it is fun stacking those washers in the tail cone on the horizontal, huh?
Bob, don't be itimidated by the tranny. Order Dr. Farts CD and jump in. The water is fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
