    Not really. Just sort of doing the laying under the covers thing trying to keep breathing.

    Ragold may be able to move it later this week, PPPR can look at it, but really money is going to be the issue. I just got back out here Tuesday. If I don't use at least some of it on bills I'm going to start losing things like electric and cell pretty much immediately. They are all on arrangement right now waiting for me to get paid out Wednesday, assuming I can even get invoices off tomorrow.

    I just don't know how things got so bad so quick. :biggrin_25513:

    How much do shift forks run for a super 10?

    Hang in, bro. #### gets bad, but your luck has no choice but to beat the odds soon. You may have to do some wrenching of your own. If you can get that baby down here, I could surely help, even though I don't know diddly squat about trannies. Tried to rebuild a Dodge transmission once. That turned into disaster because I didnt know what I was doing.

    Wondering if a better truck may be your answer. This one obviously doesnt want to stay on the road.

    Yes , sounds like something internal....Possibly a bearing failed first causing the other damage. That trans has 3 shift yokes/forks in the main box. one for Reverse /Lo, one for 1st / 2nd and one for 3rd / OD. There is also one in the Auxillary box for range selection.

    Its not the forks. Like I said originally a couple of pages back, its most likely his shift tower assembly that is busted and won't contact the fork that engage the dogs on the left side. Drop a new shift tower in it and he should be good to go.

    I see. Makes sense. Easy repair or tranny-out?

    Very easy repair. No taking the tranny out. ......Oh that is as long as nothing has broken off the tower and falls down and gets eaten up by the gears as he is trying to drive it around.

    The shift tower assembly is brand new. It has no odd rotation, all the shifts go crisply into each gear spot. When resting it against the gear it grinds until the clutch is depressed then it goes in, the splitter seems to be splitting, the low to hi from left to right moving the stick sounds good and productive. It's just when it's in gear and the clutch is out that it either grinds or does nothing. I can switch between grinding or nothing in the same gear hole just by using the splitter.

    It's gotta be deeper down.

    Are you sure that you did not drop a driveshaft?
    Does it turn when you have it in gear and the clutch out?

    A driveshaft? How many do I have???

    If that's the big long tube piece going from under the cab to the rear tandems it's there, bolted and secured.
