A604 manual shaft frozen

Mar 19, 2008 5 Replies

Hello all:


2000 GC with typical hard shifter actuation from the column. Thought it might be the cable, since it was rusty & was original shift cable. After disconnecting the shift cable at the transmission, I tried to rotate the shaft by hand, but could not move it at all. Thought vehicle weight on parking sprag was binding it, so I rocked the van back & forth a little to see if the shaft would loosen up, again no luck. Could the shaft be bound up at the casing? Or is this a failure of the TRS at t6he bottom of the shaft?

Any ideas, thoughts welcome.

It is possible that the shifter shaft is frozen in the valve body from rust. A visual inspection will determine this.

Next you're going to expect Darryl to use the shift key.
