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... |

that dog teeth is toast and needs to be replaced. the inner contents of that gear you took apart is what should be in there. However, the syncro and may be need to be replaced. The syncro can be flipped over like a pancake, (which is the factory recommends) and that may give additional life to that syncro. You WILL need a new or used 1st/reverse gear, which costs $$$. This is the classic wearing out of the 1st/reverse and the syncro. If you have not had any problems between 2nd through 5th gear, then replacing the bare essentials of the 1st/reverse gear and the dog teeth, and I would bet that your tranny could be put back on the road. BAsed on that chunk of metal, this means you will need new anchor blocks as well, the upper hooked one and you might as well replace the lower symmetrical one as well.
here is a helpful link that gave me some schooling http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=18128 |
