dmulhall Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 well, I was on my way home from picking up my son from school today. I came to a red light to make a right hand turn, went to shift from second to first and it felt like the shifter was jammed in neutral. Right away I thought a linkage came loose or off, or was stuck on something but then let out the clutch and it was in first..so I limped it to a side road, played with it a bit, didnt get anywhere so I drove it about 8 blocks home in first... I have a 50 b2b, converted to a 251 ind, 3 on the tree... I'm getting better mechanically as time goes by (getting older) but I've never had a transmission apart. I tried everything I can think of; rocking truck back and forth, lots of wiggling the column shifter, unhooking the linkages and trying to shift it manually from under the truck, but its jammed... The transmission always shifted flawlessly, no signs of any trouble, always shifted into gear without grinding, always drove nice... I'm a little stumped, so a little help would be greatly appreciated.. as always, thanks in advance guys! Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 sometimes the shifter linkage at the very endo fo the column will hand up and cause this condition Quote
