Archie Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Well I finally pulled the tranny out and split the case. Sure enough, the 5th / reverse gear shift rod was bent.. (Installed a new reverse light switch into the tranny that was a 1/2 inch longer than the correct part!!!!!) That $12 WRONG part cost me a lot of time..... Anyway, I was able to straighten the rod while still in the tranny. It took a couple times of putting the front tranny half on & off to make sure it shifted ok. The tranny is back in the truck with a new clutch kit and all is good!!!!!! It is amazing how many different switches were "the correct part" but turned out to be wrong in one way or another... I finally, after several different local parts stores, found the right switch....FROM EBAY!!!! ON TO THE NEXT PROJECT!!!!! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
