Hi all new to this forum was wondering if anyone ever ran across this before and maybe point me in the right direction.
Have a 72 ford 4500 backhoe 4 speed auto reversing trans and the other day was pushing some stone stopped backed up put it back in forward and no go. Sits there like its in neutral. I can feel the control rod moving back and forth like it is going from forward to reverse. At first I thought it may have been the linkage. The roll pin came out once before but upon further inspection it was fine and the selector rod going through the bell housing case seems to be rotating normal.
Normally when I would shift the gear shifter from first to second, third or fourth If I would leave the direction lever in forward or reverse it would grind if I tried to put it in a different gear. Now it can be in froward or reverse and it feels like its shifting but it does not grind.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
And Thanks in advance for any suggestions
