ralt962 11 Report post Posted August 28, 2018 I have a fully rebuilt FMX ( built about 3 years ago), but just now getting it going. At first I seem to have normal gear selection. Had reverse at one point and Park. But now I have all drive. The gear selector has the detents. I can feel the detents in the trans selector by disconnecting the shifter and moving the lever. Park feels a little light for the detent. Other positions the detent is solid. But when the engine is running, it doesn't matter where the selector is, I am in drive. Not a good situation. All I can think of is the selector inside is disconnected or there is a complete mess inside. Its only been driven around the block since the rebuild. Looking for suggestions where to start? Can I get to the selector with the pan off? I"m not an auto trans guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralt962 11 Report post Posted August 28, 2018 I tend to agree. I'm no trans guy. Looks like I will be pulling it out of the car. Hoping for some quick fix.....likely not coming. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,241 Report post Posted August 28, 2018 Sounds to me like the throttle linkage is not connected to the manual valve linkage. In the pic, the connection is below his fingernail and left of the arrow. While the pic is an AOD, the connection is the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralt962 11 Report post Posted August 29, 2018 RPM, thanks for the help and the finger. I'll check that and the lever attachment inside. I'm getting help on this one. Hopefully this is all there is and I can get it on the street again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
