Roy,

Like I said, it won't go through all the detents with the engine not running OR with it running. Somehow I have to run it for a while........stop.........then it will let me shift it down in LOW. You're right, the linkage is out of adjustment.

Disconnect the linkage at the transmission to make sure the shift shaft that comes out the side of the transmission will go through all the detents. Make sure the wheels are blocked so the truck can't roll. You should be able to manually rotate the shift and see if it will allow you to go through all the gears. The engine does NOT need to be running for this test.

If you can shift through all the detents with the linkage off, then you should be fine inside the transmission. If you can't, then you have a problem inside the transmission with the way the linkage is hooked up there.

Thanks Roy. I'll do some diagnostics on the tranny this week. Good idea about taking the linkage off and seeing if it will go through all the detents. Thanks for the idea.
