Ok i replaced my input shaft bearing..everything went smooth..popped the tranny back on today and i got no reverse...every other gear shifts perfect just I cant get it into reverse..

Now there is no fluids of any kind in the car and its still up in the air..Is this something that will correct itself once i actually move the car a bit or did i screw something up??

Thanks guys

 

try rolling it a little bit,

or put in gear and bump the starter,

sometimes it's hard to go into reverse,

but before you pull your tranny off and take it apart try that

 

its still up in the air

i guess ill put the brakes back on etc..and get it on the ground....

 

put it in gear and bump it with the starter

 

Does it block you out? Or, will it go in, but not clunch into gear with that patented reverse gear sound?

 

its not blocked out like as if i was trying to shift from 5th into reverse....itll let me get it almost there just feels like i need to spin the tranny a few times....my 4runner does this from time to time...im just dreading doing more work...ill know today

 

what happens when you put it in reverse.

probably left the reverse idler gear out, our put it on upside down

I defn put that bad boy back in there..and I dont think i put it in upside down because i made sure that i lined that keyish thing up with the keyhole



I couldnt bump the starter yesterday as i hoped because the battery died

 

boohoo..no reverse still..cranked the car up..and it wont go in

dropping the tranny in a little bit again

 

This is how things looked when i popped the case off...it seems like i can push the reverse gear down onto the gear below (is that correct)

any help would kick ***..i can take more pics of whatever is needed...

 

did you add fluid when it was in the car? My tranny wouldnt go in 5th/reverse after I rebuilt it, I added fluid and bam- went in like butter

 

no i didnt add fluid because i felt it would be a waste..if thats it ill be pissed..


is there anyway to test this while its outside the car???

 

after i had my tranny rebuild my a local transmission place i got it back in a hooked up the shift linkage to try the gears and it was like butter even with no oil in it. i wouldnt even waste any fluid, just pull it again and see whats wrong. you might be able to test the tranny out if the car if you pull on the part the linkage hooks up to.

 

its out of the car..those pics are of the tranny after i pulled again with reverse not working

 

with the casing apart, can you by hand, "slide check" from 5th to R? if you can't manually slide into R, then check for burrs on the sleeve. if there are any, smooth out with a file or rotary tool sander. if your idler and lever are checking out, then you probably have a mismatched or burred sleeve and hub. good luck.

 

ok fixed...it was something stupid with the change holder thingy...by stupid i mean I just didnt have it lined up good...

problem solved..move along people...nothing to see here

 

glad you got it fixed

i put my case all together two days ago, only to find my reverse idler gear laying out.
