On my plow truck, got the plow all rebuilt, got the chains on it, fixed an air leak in the fuel system, so almost all systems go. Yesterday I had to move it for a few minutes and when I tried to move it back in place, it was extremely hard to get into gear! I thought I was going to have to beat on the shift lever with a hammer to bang it into gear, and it was all 4 gears. I believe this is the Borg-Warner T-19 4 speed manual transmission, but I can say, I didn't think I would get it in gear! I was pushing the clutch all the way to the firewall and pushing the shift lever with both hands before it finally dropped into gear!
I am not familier with manual transmissions and have never experienced anything like this on a regular pick up truck. I am wondering what process I should follow to track this problem down before the snow flys.
Any of you guys have experience with this type of transmission? If so, I could sure use some insight.
Thanks.
