the sm465 transmission in my truck is having troubles. the shifter has tore up. i was wondering if anybody has experienced this type of problems and if so what did they do. i wasnt driving when it broke so i dont know exaclty what happened, i took it mud bogging then i let somebody borrow it and it broke then. the shifter just moves around freely, i can get it in to 1,2,and 3 but not low or reverse. it seems like there is some sort of linkage or somethin broke. i have had the entire body off the truck and was unable to get the shifter out, tried to push it down and twist but it didnt work. is there a way to get into the transmission other then tearing the entire cover off. thanks for any ideas, by the way its out of an 84, i dont have a pre 73 but i sure would like to have a 67 or so.
