Re: Transmission locked up
A club member got in touch with me, and explained how he solved this problem that involves use of a rubber-head mallet. He started by explaining the shifter is wedged up, and the only way to "undo" it is to hammer on the tower from all directions until it frees up enough for the cover to be taken off the case. When you think about it, this approach does make some sense since there is no other way including removing the whole transmission. After getting it out using that approach, the thing is still going to be stuck. My autobody friend is going to load it onto his trailer using a couple wheel dollys so I can at least tow it home to work on further. At least, now, I have a good sense of what I am up against, and some experienced club members who have dealt with this kind of problem before. More later....
