The 93 is stuck in 3rd gear, won't budge. its face first up against a fence and we're screwed.

i can't swap in the good trans until the blasted clutch is here that's taking forever!!!

I just want it to go into reverse so we can pull it up near the garage.

Can we tug on it from the back while the clutch is out to try to pop it out or is that a bad idea....

thanks

 

depress the clutch pedal and pull it where you want it. won't hurt anything

 

Or, if that doesn't work, pull an axle shaft or drop the drive shaft.

P.S.: Block the wheels first.

I know that but it has to go all the way around the block and was hopin it'd go under its own power

think we'll just pull it out and drive it around the block in 3rd

 

Has someone been power shifting 3rd?

 

we all watched him miss third the other day, i wonder what gives. haha the getrag

 

Pull the shifter out and have a look. I bet it jumped out, Gotta love the gutbag.

This should help:

The pic is broke, but they explain it.

 

yea My dad admitted it's 99% his fault.

Thirds been messed up for a while but he shifts into 3rd so fast its a wonder the clutch pedal doesn't snap off.

ah well, 353k, can't complain.

 

It's already up to the garage we rolled it back wards and then just drove it around the block in 3rd to the front entrance of our garage, can't make the clutch any worse so we figured what would a few 3rd gear launches hurt at this point

our buddy is letting us use his snap on trans jack. should be easy. the same guy that gave us the starter spacer we need

sent flywheel out to get cut yesterday, picked up new rear main from dealer...clutch is here....90k getrag is out of storage and painted and ready to go in, just have to bolt on the shifter stick (93 style).....good to go now.

 

Sometimes pulling it backwards will casue the helical gears to release if the trans is good and tired. I haven't missed my Getrash at all.

 

We tried everything to get it unjammed...

The trans has been badish since we got it, its always made that 3rd and 4th gear grumple and shifted really hard (like it had no fluid or something, lol) but for $400 the truck was still a deal because it was so solid.

 

Thought it was you in the driveway gear jammin before you got ur drivers license

 

Nah i drive it all the time, its just something you have to get used to , there was small window to get it into 3rd, had to be lined up perfect

 

400k on my drivetrain, including the original getrag, 1st and 3rd detents are out and she groans when lugged but i havent broke anything except an axle shaft and a U-joint yet. (dyno'd at 303hp/769tq corrected)

 

Clutch? What Clutch? Thought floating the gears was normal. I know that everyone says to not float the gears, but darn, I hate using the clutch pedal. I have had Moose for just about 3 years and once he is moving the clutch pedal doesn't get used.

I will admit that the getrags have small window for sliding the gears, but once you have it figured out, it is not rocket science.
