Column??/Tranny?? problem...I guess
Ok, I have a little problem that I don't understand yet. I can drive the truck around all day and have no problem and it doesn't do this every time I put it into park. But the last few times it has been REALLY hard to put into park and you can kinda tell that the stopping/lock up point is in the column. It goes through all the other gears fine but whenever I back it up in the driveway and try to put it in park and it is just a bi*&^.
Any help would be great guys. Thanks. AA

Remove shift lever and spray WD-40 in hole and then under hood spray where the lever comes out of column. Should free it up.

Re: Column??/Tranny?? problem...I guess
Some of the other guys on her that have a better knowledge of these trucks might have a different idea but. I had a problem like this in a monte carlo it was in the tranny. I know you dont want to here that sorry. A quick way to check is to BLOCK YOUR TRUCK WELLThen unhock your linkage right at the tranny and shift it through the gears you will know right then tranny or truck atleast. Good luck hope this helps.

odds are it is the column. They like to bind and are generally a poor design.

Front pump is worn. Time for a rebuild.

Re: Column??/Tranny?? problem...I guess
I woulda gone straight back to the rebuilder.
Double check the fluid and call your shop. (you DO know to check the tranny fluid with the engein running, up to oporating temp, on level ground, and just after going through all the gears, right?) |
