Stuck in 4th Gear

« on: August 29, 2003, 08:41:34 PM »
The other night I stopped at a red light and shifted Homer ( a.k.a. SUPERBUS! ) out of 4th . . . the shift lever came out of 4th and went to neutral, but the transmission is still in 4th.  I've obviously got some "issues" with the hockey stick and other guts to the nose cone.  Guess it comes out tomorrow.

I don't know 'till I get mine apart what I might need . . . so I'll go ahead and start preparing for the worst.  Does anyone have a desent used tranny for a 74 type 2 they want to part with?   ???

Never mind.  Got it fixed.  Well, got it working, don't really know if I "fixed" it.

I added some parts (3 E-clips and 2 springs) inside the nose cone.  They weren't there when I took it apart, and I'm not 100% sure they should even be there, but they fit and it works . . . at least for now.
