is there a way to pop the tranny out of second gear when my driveshaft broke it got stuck/ i replaced the driveshaft and tailshaft but the tranny wont budge/ is there anyway to do this or can i pull the tranny out an take it apart/ or should i just get a new tranny/

thanks red

 

if its stuck it sounds like there could be some damage to it perhaps. can you roll the car in gear? does it turn over the engine. try rocking the car back and fourth and see if it will pop out perhaps?

 

the car does turnover fine / umm the driveshaft isnt installed at the moment/ so i wouldnt know / do you suggest installing the driveshaft / i have the tranny dropped a few inche/ also is it hard to pull the tranny / as far as weight is it heavy/

thanks red

 

If there is enough wear in the interlocks, you may be able to select 4th, then push hard left & forward to pull 4th & 2nd out together.

 

it wont budge upwards like tring to shift to 3rd/ i really need to get this too work or im going t have to junk the 7 / i have no cash for a tranny at the moment/ i just want it to run/ the motor runs awesome/ jsut the tranny is a problem.

 

A was assuming the tranny is in 2nd and the selector lever is in neutral.

Will the lever move side to side or is it in back in the 2nd gear position?
If so, you probably have a stuck/jammed interlock pin.

 

The interlocks are in the center plate of the tranny.
They are #7, 8, 15 & 16 in the picture.

 

so if i pull the tranny apart wil i beable to fix this problem / or do i need another tranny i rather pull it apart since i have the time to do so/ but is there a way to fix it without pulling it out of the car/ thanks

My transmission was stuck in reverse. I was able to free it up by removing the tranny and taking out the reverse light sensor thing, then using a flat head screwdriver to pop it back into neutral. If there is some type of sensor or plug for the 1/2 shift rod, then you may be in luck and not have to pull the extension housing off.

 

In the illustration above, rod #9 is the 1/2 selector.
The #7 bolt on the top left of the picture (top of the tranny) holds the spring & ball that hold it in 2nd gear.
If there is enough clearance, you may be able to reach in there with a small thin screwdriver & push the rod rearwards to neutral.

I expect the tranny will have to come out.

 

will do/also i havent started the car in like a month would it be sfe to start it up if the tranny is hanging about 4 inches down where the shifter side is/ if not then no biggie/

thanks sam

 

If ur gonna pull the tranny. Its not that difficult. But get a jack i didnt use it to take it out. BUt i did to put it back in. Other wise ur gonna be heaving it down. And holding it on your chest.
