WoodsWagon Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I was beating a 92 legacy 2wd auto around, it was only running on 3 cylinders, so I was using the shift lock override and manual mode to drop it into gear to get moving. I would pop it into neutral and slowdown while reving the engine to keep it live. All of a sudden it wouldn't go into neutral and i almost nailed a fence with one foot on the gas, one on the brake and my hands split between the wheel and the shifter. my mind was deffiniately on the shifter at the time, so the car stalled. I couldn't restart it 'cause it was in gear (darn auto tranny) I had to push it out of the way with a tractor. The dash indicator says its in 1, and the lever feels unusasally free, so i figureits the linkage.Why would it break, where would it and is it easy to fix? remember this is a beater car.

WoodsWagon Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 The car is still sitting there..... And I'm still wondering. I'ts too low for me to look under, so I couldn't do a quick check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAWA Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Well there's three places it could've messed up. The linkage could've came disconnected from the hand lever, the cable couldve come disconnected frp, the gear selector (middle pass side of the tranny) or the cable coould've snapped.
