Well it was beutifull day yesterday, so off we go, me in my CJ, daughter
in her YJ, and and a couple in their two Cherokees, 10 miles up in the bush
and my tranny packs it in, never been in a vehicle when something happens to
tranny, I was quite supprised to find I had reverse, in every gear.
Anyway daughters boyfreind new the tansmission, so said one of the forks
has slipped, so out come the tools, out comes carpet, boots off, shifters
off, one cover off, but the one with the forks under it has two bolts up by
bell housing, too close to put a wrench on, so we loosen tranny from bell H,
but cover still wont come off because of rod that goes through to were shift
handle sits, so now we drop skid plate and move tranny back futher, but
still can't get the stupid plate off, only other thing is to take tranny
appart in center, 3 bolts come, 4th would need either front drive shaft
removed or clutch.
That was enough for me, I said lets put it back together, tow me down to
nearest junction in logging road and call a tow truck, so back together it
went, and lo and behold if it didn't fix it, the cover plate with the forks
we could lift up at one end but not get it off, so guess fork got slipped
back on.
Worst part about this whole thing for anyone who has bothered to read this
far, I have a new tranny and bellhouseing, with external clutch sitting in
garage waiting for my tranny/transfer addaptor from Novack Convertions, 3
weeks and waiting for that.
