Well hell! Take her for a spin after doing injectors, studs blah blah all the goodies, truck does just fine for about 50 miles tonight. Coming down the highway a yellow light flashes so i go to downshift and BAM!!! rear tires lock up for a second, and everything is fine. I'm thinking weird!!! okay well i pull over and put it in neutral, it's stuck in gear while the shifter is in neutral. i know it's stuck somewhere between gears, and it's a long shot but has anyone ever had this happen? the truck only has 150k on it and these trannies are pretty tough but any ideas on what is wrong??????
mine did the exact same thing....except i had 8 round hay bales behind me...had to have it rebuilt. can remember exactly what the guy said had happen/caused it but it was stuck in 4th....i'm wantin to say the syncros went out and locked it in gear and wouldn't let it release but can't remember...(2yrs ago)
Lovely!! well thanks!!!! I run a hay crew in the summer so it has been abused a little ha ha! any idea on what it ran you??? i just dropped 3500 on everything, i just did and my pockets are getting more and more shallow!
shift forks? my getrag was doing that same thing for a while. turned out the pilot bushing went out and that in turn eventually led to it eating a shift fork. still putting it back together :doh:
i finially found a guy about 3 hours away to do it for 1500 bucks but everybody else i priced was 1800-2200...and i found brand new ones for around those same prices. mine gets abused badly during hay season also...but since i've had it rebuilt not one problem at all besides trying to keep a clutch in it...different story though..lol
wonderful... well luckily i found out i have a warranty that is still valid on the tranny, thank god!!! 2800 that i don't have to pay to get it rebuilt. is there any parts for the zf6 that i can get so i don't tear this one up??? perhaps input and output shafts? better bearings? gears? anything???
Whatever gear you have while in neutral is the bearing you locked up... I fried mine a few weeks back, had low gear only, that was a slow trip home...
