transmission/ transfer case / Re: transmission top cover
« Last post by kosovoruss on July 24, 2026, 09:42:22 AM »
After 3-4 hours yesterday of trying to install top cover with no luck the Transmission that wouldn't shift into 3-4 looks like it is somehow stuck in 4th, The rear yoke will only turn when clutch is depressed. How do I unjam it when I pick it up again on Sunday? this is baffling the hell out of me!

Hi, Spent all day yesterday cleaning, Oiling and Polishing with Crocus Cloth. The 3-4 Rail took a while but is much cleaner than when I started and the fork moves as it should. I am going to try and test fit it today and see what happens! besides lining the forks with the grooves are there any other tricks to installing the Top Cover? Thanks.

Hello, after 4 weeks, The transmission is drained and Top Cover is off again. Transmission looks pretty clean and I don't see anything out of the ordinary. The Top Cover looks pretty good, Nothing broken or damaged. The 3-4 rail is stiff compared to the other 2 so I am soaking it with WD-40 and working it back and forth with a small Brass hammer and today I will remove the shifter and try to move the 3-4 Fork Back and Forth on the Rail. I worked at a Heavy Truck shop in the 90's and the owner is going to come over later in the week and look at it! While it has been soaking, I have been replacing from the Master Cylinder back with all new Steel lines and Rubber hoses. While there, I have been Power Wire brushing section at a time and painting it. It is an Early Lot 5 Truck and everything underneath and in the Deep cracks  and crevices it appears to have left the factory painted Lusterless Black, Not OD like every other Military Vehicle I have owned! Any Thoughts? Thanks.
