    Hi Brent,

    I am sure I did everything correctly (lol) but after putting the cap onto the tranny case the gear shifter does not engage ANY of the gears.

    Before putting the cap on I was able to move the gears by hand into every gear smoothly.

    I didn't do anything to the cap while making the repairs to the tranny.

     

    Any ideas of what went wrong?  Are there any videos on how the cap should 'look' or how it should be 'positioned' when setting it onto the case?

     

    At this rate I may have to tow my baby to the BBQ next April and let the crew there take a crack at it and when we get it put in we all can hear it fired up for the first time in 25 years.

     

    Next time I will remember it is easier to maintain an old truck rather than restore one.

      Thanks Brent,  I know it will come together, just frustrating it is not coming together the first time.  lol

       

      I will let you know when I get it to work.  Probably should have taken more photos when it was working those 25 years ago.  lol    If something is working who thinks about photo documenting the way it is put together?

       

      I am running into a similar issue with the hand brake that is attached to the tail end of the trans.   I can't remember whether the 'yoke' on the output splines is attached to the 'inside' of the brake drum or the 'outside'.  Haven't found any photos that clearify it and the repair manual I have only handles the output yoke and it "IS" the drive shaft yoke.  No mention of the hand brake drum that is 'in between' the 'two yokes'.  This delima will be answered also.  I just have to keep calm and double check myself each step.

      It is nice having someone that understands the frustrations of restoring a ventage vehicle.

      Thanks for listening.

      Let me know if you need a photo of anything. I have a truck with the dash pull style and one with the floor lever style

      My hand brake is 'on the dash'.  I have confidence I can figure it out, sooner or later.  lol

      I will let you know.
