[T3] Re: [T3] Tranny won«t shift



<x-flowed>

daniel... check the shift rod coupler!

That's not the problem. The shift rod works OK, the car goes forward in "3" and backward in "R". Once it's going, it won't shift out of first.

Hi all,

Last time I took the car out I thought I«d finally got it right - the engine purred the tranny shifted perfectly . . .

I took it out this morning and disaster struck. After a few minutes drive, it would no longer shift out of first.

For the last couple of weeks, the tranny has held each gear longer and longer. This was a good thing, I thought, because previously it had let go too early. Now it won't shift at all.

The only previous time I have seen anything like this is when I managed to break the governor. I fixed it and all was well. Is this likely to be the problem this time too? Is anything else possible.

The oil level appears to be OK.

Thanks,


Daniel
