transmission problem
Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 4:40 pm
looking for information, my transmission is stuck in foward, the problem is not in the cable or linkage, any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it.
What kind of transmission? The velvet drive service manual is availble here:

I've used that board for advice in the past and gotten good info.
if you search the treads you will find "stuck in forward". The reply says fwd clutches are burnt or warped. You will need to rebuild" His words not mine.
Good Luck,

more than likely the clutches are warped or if bad enough welded together after slipping giving you direct drive .shifting to reverse will sometimes stall the engine.It's a common trouble always check your shifter linkage in foward or reverse to be sure it drops into the detent ball on the side of the transmission if not the forward or reverse clutches do not get enough drive pressure through the spool valve to fully engage the clutches and slip and overheat.Sounds like a rebuild is in order if so don't do it on the cheap replace the cooler also and flush the lines out .Good luck Jim!!
