The tranny has locked up again in neutral... this time it ain't comin' out.
Any words of wisdom before I yank it out?
happened once before several months ago... but I jiggled, pounded, etc. and
it started working again. Stick shift goes left to right but wont go in any
gear.... engine off/on, clutch in/out, rock back and forth... all that
stuff. NV3550 my ars!#@*#

Pull one bolt from the bellhousing, take it to the hardware store. Get 4
just like it, but 5 or so inches longer. When you get home, cut the heads
off and taper the ends. Install the 4 rods you made when you take out the 4
lower bellhousing bolts. This will allow the trans to slide back free of the
pilot bearing upon removal, and will make alignment for re-install VERY
easy.

Cool idea... Thanks! But I was hoping you would say something like... "turn
hat to left side, stick tongue out to right side, close one eye and pull
shifter back while standing on left foot only".
