No reverse!
« on: 03/19/11 - 02:08PM »
So I was driving the other day, all was fine and as I'm trying to back out of a parking spot, no reverse! I've got an 88 wrangler 4.2 , 5 speed man. I guess I'll drain fluid and replace and try that, what else could it be?

your 5th gear fell off inside the tranny... I don't think a fluid change will help.

So do I need to drop the tranny and fix or is it not fixable?

Totally rebuildable.  just don't drive it as the loose parts can be caught between other moving parts and totally destroy it. 

Have a great week,

well I'm happy to announce that I have had my trans. problem fixed. It had to be replaced, as well as the clutch plate and slave cylinder etc. John's out at Billings did a great job and I would recommend them to anyone.

They charged $1400 for it all. They did great work and were quick. I thought it was worth it. Good luck!
