This is really weird problem but I guess I forgot to mention that sometimes it would pop in and be like neutral or it would not go in and give a pulsing resistance against the shifter. Im stumped because it happend when i was just crusing and I have had no problems before this. I would take it back to the shop but I bought it with the new transmission and lost the reciept for it, but I remember it was $1600. what do you think make an acess panel and pull the top off or drop the whole thing?

Definately make an access panel. If you've got a cutting wheel and a MIG, its not hard at all. I'm sure glad I did.

I like an access panel, but I'm spoiled; my truck came built with it.
How much do you plan to work on just the top cover?

Im looking for the reciept for the place but no luck so far. I think im gonna pull the top but Im not sure. If I dont find the problem in the top I will be able to see what is wrong inside right? give me some more ideas Im thinking it may be a roll pin. Reverse and 5th are on the same rail so that could also explain why after this happened it is very hard to get out of reverse?

Yeah, I kinda thot I was, but wanted to toss out anything that mite help. Like I said, I got an auto myself, and I can barely tell you what color the fluid is supposed to be!

Good luck Murphy85! Hope you get her going soon!

Today I made an acces panel and took the top of the tranny off. I found nothing unusual and everything seemed to be In good shape, where should I be looking for the problem? I need to get this thing back on the road. Thanks

OK I have been researching and have a few more questions. What is the little shift fork on the drivers side at the bottom of the case do? and I can shift it into 5th and still nothing. all the syncros look to be good and the shift fork is sliding over the gears fully, what could be the problem?
