chevyman76 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 ok i just got my first sand rail!! yea me !! but haveing trans issues 2nd 4th and rev work fine but wont go in to 1st or 3rd any sugestions would be appreciated!! thanks much Quote
andydew Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 1st. make sure it's not a linkage problem. It could be as simple as an adjustment on the shift rod that runs between the seats. The shifter box could have reached it's forward limit of throw, before the shift rod/bar clicks the trans in; if that's not it,... it could get expensive Quote

dune_rat Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 cool thanks ill give that a try! i want to try this thing out soon to ad a little to Andys suggestion.....disconnect the linkage and see if you can put in in those gears Quote
randyvw Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) unlikely that it's internal if it's first and third.....odds are it's a linkage problem....can you loosen the lock bolt on the shift shaft coming out of trans,pull shift linkage forward, then retighten? many linkages have predetermined holes that line up only one way....you may have to look at other places in your linkage to acomplish this.....BTW....who's ned?

bp-guy Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Definately sounds like a linkage issue. I sounds like the linkage isn't allowing the bar to push in fully into the trans. Since both gears are at the top of the shift pattern, I would try to move the entire shifter box towards the trans about 1/2 if you have that amount of movement in the box. If not see if the shift rod has a threaded piece at the end of the shaft by the trans and make that longer and see if your now getting 1st and 3rd. Quote
chevyman76 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Posted March 2, 2010 thanks a bunch!! and ned is me typing to fast and not looking back at what i did lol Quote
Don29palms Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 It also might just be the shifter. The shifter might just need to be moved back just a very small amount. If it has a stock shifetr it is just 2 bolts. Quote
