Re: Peugot BA5/10 re-install trouble
Thanks, I was afraid that if I had to pull it again it would end up in the lake. :)

Re: Peugot BA5/10 re-install trouble
I really, really didn't want to pull the tranny again so I did end up
fiddling around in the shifter opening a bit first. So I pulled out
the Big Screwdriver (ala John Muir) and gently jimmied around. There
was a slotted plate on top that moved side to side that didn't seem to
get me anywhere, but underneath that and slightly protruding on the
passenger side is some linkage(and none of this stuff is on a
blow-apart diagram that I can find). I levered that thing a bit and
it slid forward with a nice satisfying metallic clink. I went around
and checked my back tire and it spun free. I was quite the ecstatic
grease monkey at that point. So in goes the shifter, etc, etc.
Everything is working fine now. Thanks for your input. I posted a
link below to a picture I took to help someone else locate the linkage
(unfortunately, even in macro and with my shoplight throwing light on
it, I couldn't get the actual linkage to show up clearly).
http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ave...&.dnm=2761.jpg
So, the old Jeep is spared from being sold as "As-Is Junk" on ebay
once again.
I appreciate all the advice and suggestions.

I'm surprised my manual doesn't mention that you need to have it
neutral to put the stick in. You pretty much have to have it in gear
to be able to line up the splines, but you also have to have the stick
out because it won't clear the body opening. Oh well, crisis averted.
It must be one of those things a mechanic is supposed to know. I
grew up on VW's and you don't ever pull the stick out, you just
disconnect the exterior linkage. Not to mention you can pick the
tranny up without blowing out a lumbar disc. I just need to go back
to my veedubs . . .

I'm surprised my manual doesn't mention that you need to have it
neutral to put the stick in. You pretty much have to have it in gear
to be able to line up the splines, but you also have to have the stick
out because it won't clear the body opening. Oh well, crisis averted.
It must be one of those things a mechanic is supposed to know. I
grew up on VW's and you don't ever pull the stick out, you just
disconnect the exterior linkage. Not to mention you can pick the
tranny up without blowing out a lumbar disc. I just need to go back
to my veedubs . . .

My manual says it has to be in neutral to insert the shifter....
I have the Haynes manual.
