TJ tranny locked up... again! Help!
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.

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".

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. "JimG" > wrote in message ... > Cool idea... Thanks!

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.

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).
