Picked up the grand daughter from school today and there was no reverse available when I backed out of our driveway - lever moved okay to the left, but only pulled back an eighth of inch or so - felt like there some hard rubber plug stopping it. Tried again later and lifted the clutch a bit and got 'grinding not fully engaged' noises. Drove down to the school fine, parked, played in the playground, then found no 3rd/4th on the way home - similar issue: lever moves to the right okay, but won't slide fore or aft. It's a centre shift BJ7 with o/d.
My Haynes manual says nothing regards diagnosing/adjusting linkages (I'm assuming that's the problem)and I'm off to borrow back my Bentley manual. Plan had been to drive it north (300 km) Monday for winter storage, but I'd prefer to have more gears.
As a back up to the Bentley manual, I'd sure appreciate some advice. It's quit raining here but we're hitting freezing at night, so these driveway projects are less fun. I drove it up on ramps yesterday for an oil change, so there may have been some stressors from frame flex.
