#3253 of 4960 transmission problems by jrolf Mar 07, 2007 (7:14 pm)
I just had my motor rebuilt put it back into my 1997 Jimmy got it running good then transmission went out so i had that rebuilt now that we have put it all back together again. I can shift it to all gears but it wont move. I tried putting it in neutral and you cant even roll it does anyone have any idea what this could be. I am so stumped on this one. Please help.

Replying to: jrolf (Mar 07, 2007 7:14 pm) This is a manual or automatic? When you say you put it in neutral, and it won't move. Are you saying that you absolutely can not push the car with the engine off and it is in neutral? If so, sounds like either the output shaft of the transmission is bound up (not allowing the driveshaft to turn when vehicle pushed)....or you have a parking brake jammed on. I'm not an automatic transmission guru, but what you might want to try is dropping the driveshaft, to see if the engine will turn the transmission output w/o any driveshaft. If it doesn't, then you know you have a transmission problem....and most likely the transmission is coming back out anyhow, so not wasted work dropping the driveshaft. If it does turn the shaft, then you know the problem is in your differential/axle/brakes. You have fluid in the transmission, right?

Replying to: jrolf (Mar 07, 2007 7:32 pm) And while the engine is running, when you take it out of park and put in R, do you feel it drop into gear and slow the engine? Then when you shift to N you feel it come out of R and idle slightly faster? And then when you shift to D you feel it drop into gear again?

Replying to: kiawah (Mar 07, 2007 8:36 pm) no you cant feel it drop into any gears. the shifting handle shifts into the gears and the shifting cable moves but it stays in park. Replies to this message: kiawah (Mar 08, 2007 4:07 am) jrolf (Mar 08, 2007 7:11 am)

Replying to: jrolf (Mar 07, 2007 10:11 pm) Oh sorry, thought you had indicated it was shifting into gear, but just locked up and not moving. So to understand your situation correctly, did you take the transmission out of the car and take it somewhere for them to rebuild it, and then you put it back into the vehicle? or did you take the vehicle to a transmission shop and they rebuilt it in the car? Can you get the vehicle towed to the transmission shop? Replies to this message: jrolf (Mar 08, 2007 7:11 am)

#3261 of 4960 Gearshift stuck in park arghhhhh!!! by detroitlions Mar 08, 2007 (12:35 pm)
is any one out there in cyberspace familiar with a gearshift being really uncooperative!! I have a MB s430 when im ready to put in drive after depressing the brake petal is when the nightmare all begins!!. i jimmy it for couple of minutes then it finally shifts..my warranty just ran out so im being really cautious of who or where i take it too, not that the warranty covered it anyway. i've heard it may be the switch that activates it when depressing brake...but i thought i'd try the forum first..someone responded in here saying that all i need to do for now is stick something thin alongside the gearshift but i can't get passed the lil protective slider part?? if anyone can shed some light please advise..it seems it would have a bypass for now..i don't want the wifey stranded!!

Replying to: detroitlions (Mar 08, 2007 12:35 pm) yup. sounds like the switch. is there not a button near the shifter that allows you to bypass the switch? (usually very small) I'm not familiar with your particular vehicle, but you can find such a button on several different vehicles.
