The tranny has locked up again in neutral... this time it ain't comin' out. Any words of wisdom before I yank it out? happened once before several months ago... but I jiggled, pounded, etc. and it started working again. Stick shift goes left to right but wont go in any gear.... engine off/on, clutch in/out, rock back and forth... all that stuff. NV3550 my ars!#@*#
Pull one bolt from the bellhousing, take it to the hardware store. Get 4 just like it, but 5 or so inches longer. When you get home, cut the heads off and taper the ends. Install the 4 rods you made when you take out the 4 lower bellhousing bolts. This will allow the trans to slide back free of the pilot bearing upon removal, and will make alignment for re-install VERY easy.
HTH

Cool idea... Thanks! But I was hoping you would say something like... "turn hat to left side, stick tongue out to right side, close one eye and pull shifter back while standing on left foot only".
Sorry, not much good at voodoo (see my other post). Hope the idea helps.. I got it on here from (I THINK) Mike R.

It is the right foot and you have to curl your tongue and rotate it counter clockwise while humming 'The Motorcycle Song' backwards in Polish.
I would be opening the top inside transmission tunnel's plate off and be checking the shifter tower's top plate for loose bolts....
It sounds to me like the shifter has popped out of it's hole inside the tower.

I have taken the shift tower off and can't see any problem. The NV3550 has only a socket and one shift rod... all that seems to be OK. The only thing I can figure is the forks have come loose from the rod (which I can't see without taking the tranny apart).

Ouch!
Good luck.

*ehm* How in the HELL is it possible, that guy who can do something like that, is single? *snikker*

Maybe not so funny....... haven't we all had a vehicle, back in the day, that required a .... 'unique'..... starting procedure?
Well sis....... A lot of the answer rests with 'She who must not be named.' or as you refer to her .... 'That Woman'.
Mike, Was it you that mentioned the bolt trick to me when I did my YJ trans?
Carl
I haven't had to jump start anything else in quite a while
First or reverse.
No, but it is a good one.... or it could be a pain in the butt to line up 4 pins instead of the 2 stock ones when the engine and tranny are tipped strange....
