shifter detents... Posted by JimBlake [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: follow up to "rebuild installed - impossible to shift", Alex Bucell, Thu, 22 Jan 2004 19:59:53 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Generic answer - I've only had trannys apart on Datsuns & aircooled VWs, but not a Saab...
There's usually a steel ball, with a spring behind it, that pushes into a notch in the shift-fork shaft. That makes it kinda snap into position.
Each shift fork controls 2 gears. 1st & 2nd are on the same fork. When the shifter pushes one fork into gear (for example the 1/2 fork into 1st), you want some kind of mechanism that positively prevents another fork (say the 3/4 fork) from moving. That's the other job of this mechanism of balls & notches & springs.
So something's in backwards, that makes sense. This interlock is confused, so it won't let the 1/2 fork move into 2nd.
