It is the right foot and you have to curl your tongue and rotate it counter
clockwise while humming 'The Motorcycle Song' backwards in Polish.

Re: TJ tranny locked up... again! Help!
I would be opening the top inside transmission tunnel's plate off and be
checking the shifter tower's top plate for loose bolts....
It sounds to me like the shifter has popped out of it's hole inside the
tower.

Re: TJ tranny locked up... again! Help!
Mike,
I have taken the shift tower off and can't see any problem. The NV3550 has
only a socket and one shift rod... all that seems to be OK. The only thing
I can figure is the forks have come loose from the rod (which I can't see
without taking the tranny apart).

I have taken the shift tower off and can't see any problem. The NV3550 has
only a socket and one shift rod... all that seems to be OK. The only thing
I can figure is the forks have come loose from the rod (which I can't see
without taking the tranny apart).

Re: TJ tranny locked up... again! Help!
Mike,
I have taken the shift tower off and can't see any problem. The NV3550 has
only a socket and one shift rod... all that seems to be OK. The only thing
I can figure is the forks have come loose from the rod (which I can't see
without taking the tranny apart).
