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... |

Yup, your block fell out probably because you have a late snap ring on your gear. That snap ring can rotate and let the little block out. The late model had bigger block that did not fall out.
I agree with Dan that you need a new set of dog teeth. The rest I do not agree with. Your gears themselves look fine, and if they did not it would still only cost you $25 +shipping from me to replace with good used. Depending on your finances, your 1st slider is fine. You CAN replace it, but it is not 100% necessary if your budget does not allow. I also have better used ones and a nice new one if you want to go that way. I would upgrade your band and block to the new style, and I have a lot of these for you. If you want, send me your 1st gear and I will assemble it with the parts you need. |
