17 fight vin number is on the left outside frame rail near the left footwell to the left front tire. The 10 th digit represents the year model.

 

17 digit. Auto correct on my phone sucks. Lol.

Well with the vin# info provided by tt425 I determined that it's a 2001. Runs good and the charging system is charging. Fresh oil & filter,gas and all seems well...except there is that no reverse problem. Forward low and high are ok. as well as finding neutral. When I try to go into reverse it just grinds. I did see there is adjustment on the shift linkage. Should I attempt to adjust this a bit. I was told that there are pins that could bend or break and It's probably an easy fix??? Anyone have an opinion or suggestion?

 

Hmmm...No response...Guess I'm on my own...

 

Certainly start with adjusting the shifter rods.

Get familiar with how they work and than give them an adjustment based on what you see.

I have to work and no computer at home. I use my phone but when it's cloudy and storming i have no signal.
Just make sure idle is not to high or it will grind all gears but if only grinding in reverse the reverse rod needs adjusted or something wrong inside transmission.

 

I checked on a factory manual...Wow $70.00...Found aftermarket manuals at Amazon for half that with free shipping. Before I start adjusting on the linkage rod I'll get the manual so at least I have a reference asa to the proper procedure.

 

contact this guy. manuals for like $8.

to adjust linkage, put tranny in nuetral, remove rod ends from holes in tranny, adjust so that ends go into tranny perfectly straight, if ends have any slack in them, replace .

 

Thanks RussC...Makes sense...Geezer "brain fart" duh.
