All:
'95 V8 auto. Would only go in reverse, no drive in any forward gears. Did some research, which said transmission is likely shot. Bought a used one. Removed the transfer case & noticed that the Hi/Lo shifter linkage was broken off. Cannot get it to shift out of high range, despite tapping the lever (on the tcase). Then decided to start the rig, & engage forward & reverse & see if the output shaft switched directions. Despite having a good battery & the shifter being ion Park, it wouldn't even try to start. Questions:
Should I be able to manually shift between high & low range on the side of the transfer case with it removed?
What is likely the cause of the not starting? O2 sensors are disconnected, as are all the transfer case sensors.
Is there any other way to see if the transmission works in forward? (Without installing the new transmission)
Can the transfer case that's stuck in high be fixed? If not, how much for a used one?
Any other thoughts?
Thanks
Paul.
