Topic: HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING IN TO 1ST AND 3RD ON G52

[Dereks83Toyo]

I INSTALLED A G52 IN TO MY 83 YOTA AND WONT SHIFT IN TO 1ST OR 3RD IT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN I SHIFT LIKE THE GEARS GRINDING AS THOUGH IT DOESNT GET SHIFTED FORWARD FAR ENOUGH SO I DRAINED THE GEAR OIL AND LOOKED FOR METAL IN THE GEAR OIL THERE WAS NONE BUT THERE WAS SOME CHIPS OF METAL ON THE PLUG NOTHING BIG BUT SOME NEED SOME ANSWERS IF ANYONE COULD HELP ALL OTHER GEARS WORK PERFECT NO LOUD NOISES COMING OUT OF TRANI OR NOTHING HELP

1st Pull the shifter and check if the shift seat and shift ball is in good condition.  If these are worn/missing, it can cause bad shifting.

2nd.  Body lift?  Maybe the shifter is hitting the pan.  Remove shifter boot and verify if shifter is hitting metal.

Hey holmes, I think your caps lock is on. 

Is this the tranny you just got or the old one?

Aaron's shifter seat was destroyed and you know how  well taken care of his truck is. And i'd check that body lift again...i swore you said something about it not shifting all the way when you first put in on...

thanks for the info guys pulled off everything wasnt hitting the pan took it to trani guy yesterday some how glass ended up getting in it and got caught between gears everything was fine just cleaned it up and resealed no damage to synchros or gears

[Talon84x4]

Glass? 

[BLACKDOG]

Glass? 

How? 

[Dereks83Toyo [OP]]

I dont know how the glass got in there but we got it out got back from guy yesterday but still having the problem will check shifter and ball thanks guys keep suggestions coming 

[79coyotefrg]

im guessing  your "tranny guy"   is  taking you to a cleaning,  probably  charged you  for  pulling the tranny apart  while he  had a cup of coffee

[Dereks83Toyo [OP]]

Nope was right there watching him take it a part saw the glass coming out of it 

[Talon84x4]

And he didn't look for anything else that would cause this problem while he had it apart? 

[Dereks83Toyo [OP]]

[BLACKDOG]

I'm gonna run up the :bull crap: flag on this one

If this were the case:

Then he wouldn't have been able to tell you this:

  you may have been standing there when he did it, but it sounds like he's still jerking you around.
