I'm sure you already checked, but I need to ask. You checked your trans fluid level correct?

haha yeah that was the first thing i checked lol it was alittle low but didnt need ne at all

 

[mr.copenhagen]

Check underneath truck, side of tranny shifter linkage is free and moving by hand (make sure to chaulk the wheels)

lol checked that..its fine haha

 

[mr.copenhagen]

Are you saying the gear selector is stuck, or it just won't down shift any more?

well i dont get it because i can shift it into first seccond and third on the colum..but if i throw it into drive..it just starts off in third and wont gear down or nothin lol im confused haha

 

[mr.copenhagen]
