Jeep in water - now transmission will not work

Bill, I am not sure I follow. What do you mean by 'pull that rail back into neutral'? Sorry I am just a greenhorn on transmissions. Thanks

Pull the shift lever out again, and look down into the transmission. You will see three rails that move back and forth, parallel with the mainshaft. They each have a notch in them, that the end of the shift lever fits in. Before installing the shift lever, you have to line up all the notches so the transmission is in neutral. Then you pop the shift lever in without disturbing any of them..Once it is all the way down, you should be able to shift into all the gears.

Part of your mistake was driving it 60 miles with water in it. I know you do not want to walk but there is a times when you do not drive them far and this was one of them. Second mistake was letting it sit empty for a wek and without doubt some rust has set in internally. You show have drained and refilled it right away and maybe put a few oz's of dry gas with lube too (alchol in dry gas can bind to water and oil) drove it a bit and then drained it again as this would have removed alll the water in there. At this stage, the damage is likely done and you need to pull tranny and tear it down to inspect it. (I beleive you stated it made noisy on way home and this is not good either) THere is no magic fixes here and to suggest otherwise would be misleading at this stage of the game.

SnoMan you are a moron. This is all true but it has absolutely nothing to do with the OP's stated problem.

And for our Spanish-speaking friends. Snoman eres morón y hijo de la gran puta. Lo que balbuceas de manera tan necia es verdad, sí claro, pero no tiene nada que ver con la queja del puteador original. El tío no puede manipular el cambio de marchas, y la respuesta es tan sencillo que un novato pueda contestarla. ¿Por qué no lo haces? ¡Porque no tienes ni puta idea!

Oh boy more tranny advice from da snoflake. Is it worth reading? From nearly every past experience, who cares if it is.

The moron here is you as usual. Even if the shifter came out of ralils it would not come out unless a LOT of force was apply to shift it and that means it was binding and it was forced. It was binding from rust and/or damage and people like you are dangerous because you are really clueless and try to plant false hopes. You never want to treat cause (because it escapes you) only the symptoms best you can with your limited understanding of how and why things work. You really should take up a different language because your advise is worthless anyway so you might as well speak it in a foreign tongue too. Someone would be very foolish to follow your dribble in this thread.

Oh boy is right, another insecure troll about. Where there is one there is another. BTW, I will not be the child you are and quote all the foolish dribble you have posted because it would take all night and then some to list it all. Knock yourself out. I am laughing at you (and so are others)

BTW, you are notice how some of these cry babies like HeatWave do not even use a real Email address? That alone tells you a lot about their validity.

Earle,

Your Spanish is amazing!

Earle Hort> SnoMan you are a moron. This is all true but it has absolutely nothing to

This is the typical lame diatribe snoflake uses when he goes into=20 offense mode. This contains way fewer spelling errors than usual. Either=20 he's using spell check or he's sober at the moment.=20

LMAO nearly everything you write is in a different language.

The word "dribble" is something he picked up from those writing about=20 his post. He very slowly picks these things up and tries to use them=20 against others. Its getting more laughable everytime he picks something=20 new up and attempts to use it in a scathing maner.=20

Snoball these links contain things that "YOU" wrote. If you do not like=20 what YOU wrote then I suggest YOU stop posting. ___________________________________________________________ SBJ: 4T65E

Uh, he said that he removed the transmission completely. That would imply that he had removed the lever, thus giving the opportunity to put it back incorrectly, so there is no need for "a LOT of force" to have been applied.

Instead of getting pissed off why don't you try actually _reading_ the post to which you are responding?

I've taped the pan up and pour water in place of the engine oil, no big deal, just take it slow and it got me back from fifty miles from nowhere. God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com

That's not what they tell me in alt.usage.spanish. It's a tough crowd over there, but they're good teachers. Don't tell them I said this.

SnoMan can't read.

sure I follow. What do you mean by 'pull that rail

Earle & Bill, Thanks for the pointer on the shift rails. My 1-2 shift rail was out of alignment with the shifter by about an inch, which was enough to cause me grief. I lined it back up and was able to shift flawlessly. The thing is shifting like butter (well I suppose as good as a peougot can) now after the fluid change, but it does seem to be a little on th screechy side. I don't know if its just noticeable now because I didn't reinstall the cover plate or shifter boot before taking it out for a spin, but it is a little noisy at times. Any idea on that?

Thanks again for the help. I learned a little about trannys along the way.

If you got that much water in it, I would recommend another change after warming up the transmission real well. I am betting on cover plate for the noise though. Maybe SnoMan has some more ideas...

Cheers,

Earle
