Folks,
During my unsuccessful TR3A drive to VTR, the transmission stopped shifting into first and second gears. Yesterday I removed the top cover from the transmission to investigate. After some time of moving things back and forth, the linkage started working. The problem seems to be that the anti-rattle plunger had managed to slip out and jammed the first/second shifter rod. The spring remained in-place. Is there anything unique to this installation? I am planning on buying a new spring and plunger.
Also, for some reason, this transmission has 2 isolator switches on the top with the forward (first) switch wired as a switch and the second one wired simply as a connector. I would insert a photogrpah but that skill seems to be beyond my ability.
Thanks.
Ron
