I got the tranny out of the car and am ready to pull the gear stack. But, I cannot seem to get both 3rd and 5th gears engaged (in order to lock the stack).
I have read both Redbeard's and Bondo's accounts of how to do this, but no luck. I have the shift input thing out, rear cover off. I can get any of the gears to go one at a time (i.e. 1st only, 3rd only, and 5th only). But only can I get both 1st and 5th to engage together. The 2/3 shift rod will only go into 3rd, if no other gears are engaged1!!! How hard can I hit it? Is there a specific order I should follow? Do I need to lock 1, 3, and 5? Or just 3 and 5? Another thought, can I go ahead and pull the stack as is and try and lock the gears once the stack is removed (then take off the expansion bolt, etc)? any thoughts would be appreciated. JR |

I always have a little trouble with this. Put it in neutral, spin it a bit and try again. Also try pushing down on both rods at once. It's taken me as many as 5 mins, and I've had to get out a rubber hammer and pound on the rods before. Just keep trying and it'll go. (if you want to make things easier on yourself, make sure the roll pin in the castellated nut is not pointing towards the pinion shaft when you lock the shafts.. it makes it easier to remove)

What Bondo said. And no, I wouldn't take the stack out as is and try to take the expansion bolt out that way. There won't be the leverage to hold things and there will be nothing to hold the shafts in place in order to lock them.
By the way, instead of using the big ass crescent wrench on the input shaft, you can use a 1-1/4" crowfoot wrench. That will also allow you to retorque things correctly when you put things back together. In my case, with my torque wrench, I just multiply the required torque by 0.8 to compensate for the length of the crowfoot. Andrew |
