Ok. As some may know. Its friggin cold. This morning it was 2 degrees out. So i went to start my jeep. Which was ok. But when i tried to shift into reverse. It was stuck. So i had to go take another vehicle. When i got back today it was alittle warmer. It was 10. I turned it on for 10 mins and i more or less forced it into drive. Now. I cant get it back into park. What the french toast?

I have recently changed the trans fluid and the filter. I havent had any trouble until just resent. So anyone else have this problem? Is my transmission shot? Anything i can do to fix it????

Well I don't think the cold is problem, up here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada it was a balmy -42 degrees Celsius this morning and I had no problems.

Axel1831

Well then i have no clue why its not working. And i really need this stupid thing to work....

Maybe its not the tranny but the linkage itself. I have only owned mine a few days so Im not real familiar with them but isnt there a shift cable or some type of linkage under it. Maybe the cold is causing this to stick.

Didn't they have a brake interlock not allowing shifting into or out of Park without jamming on the brake pedal? Maybe that cable is stretched?

Axel1831

The cable being stretched is possible. How could i check?

Also. how can i find the brake interlock so i can see if that ok?

Axel1831

Does the brake interlock run on any fuses or anything? Also. Is there a way to disconnect it so i can try and shift it? Its just sitting in neutral right now.

Try this first. Give the top of the T-handle a good whack straight down.

Axel1831

this is starting to seriously **** me off...

Axel1831

I did it and nothing. It will shift through everything but park. Park is the only thing i am having trouble with???

Axel1831

I take that back. I shift into 3rd but i cant shift into 1-2. I also still cant get into park.

Did you check the linkage? Is there snow/ice billed up on it? Rock in the way? Did you look under it at all? I mean could something be broke/partly broke?

Axel1831

nothings frozen/blocking/stuck to the linkage. Now as for broken. From what i can see (and feel for about .3 seconds coz its friggin cold) there isnt anything broken.

Zack92MJ

Hmmm...whelp. heres a free bump, so maybe someone smarter than me can help you

Axel1831

Still have no clue whats wrong with it. I just finished looking at it. Ive been at meps so i didnt have time til today.

I was hoping the Jeep Gods would magicly fix it as soon as i got back from swearing into the Army. Guess not...
