Re: stuck ignition key and getting reverse Posted by DougM [Email] (#211) [Profile/Gallery] (more from DougM) on Wed, 28 Jan 2004 09:22:36 In Reply to: stuck ignition key and getting reverse, Jonathan, Tue, 27 Jan 2004 11:30:59 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'm not sure how you can fix it short of trying to locate a used 4spd shifter. The reason you can't get reverse is because when you lift on the carrier(#2), it also raises the bottom end of the shifter to allow it to go into the reverse gate so to speak.
If it was me, I'd remove the whole shifter assembly and take it apart and see what's bent, loose, out of place, etc.
I'm still trying to figure in my head how it would be able to lock in 4th gear....maybe someone else can add to this.
