We TRIED to rebuild one of these. Bought the dvd and went step by step but we messed up somewhere. It has no reverse... and ever gear I put it in moves if forward..It has lots of pep in the foward gears.. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks Keith

 

Make sure you didn't break the tranmission cable when you dropped the tranny. I recall my car didn't have reverse when the installer broke the cable when dropping the tranny. Needed a new cable.

 

No cable on this one.....

 

Should have said..even with the shifter in reverse it goes forward..... thanks again for any help

 

Look to see if you don't have the manual valve connected properly.

 

Vince.... Iam not sure how I could mess that up the link just slid in it at the end ...Not trying to sound like a jerk.. Iam just saying how could i mess it up ? Let me know and Ill sure check it.. Thanks.. Keith

 

It was one of the things that causes your condition. Does it go forward in the neutral position? I've see it done on the bench and in the car. **** happens. It just sounds like what you did.

 

get a 6 speed j/p good luck

 

if its locked in a gear you could have your valve body bolts in wrong causing it to lock in gear

 

Vince it does move forward in neutral. So what did i do let the link fall out of it or what ? Thanks for your help. Keith

 

Some times just trying to get every thing lined up it just falls out. I'd be lying if I said I never had done it. However I always try to remember to check it before I get it all torqued down. Quick had a good point about the bolts. However I believe that the three 8mm bolts if installed in the wrong location will cause a ty-up not forward in all gears. PLEASE drop the pan and check the manual valve. If it's connected I will look further into this for you.

 

Vince Thanks for the help.. Ill check it out but it will be a few days. I work out of town. Ill let ya know... Thanks again. Keith

 

all 7 check ***** in the right spots?

 

Vince you were right.. It was hanging down when I took the pan off. Thanks for the help. Keith

 

Man almost like I knew what I was doing. Glad things worked out. Remember us when you need a rebuilt.
