My MUTT is stuck... in gear

[progun]

Well, it's like it is in two gears at once or something. It was going fin till all of a sudden I pushed in the clkutch and when I let it out the vehicle bodgged and died. It runs with the clutch in but does the same thin in all gears. It just bogs down. Any ideas? It rolls with the clutch in too so it's not the brakes.

Even does it in neutral... just bogs down

Pull the top cover off and inspect. It will be obvious when you get in there. I assume these are rail shifted (like a deuce, modern manual, etc) and not a side shifted tranny like Muncie, A-833, Toploader, etc.

That is weird I would say its something in the transmission but you might all so check the park brake band as well.

As stated, remove the top cover from the gearbox and inspect. the gearshift extension into the box might be worn and slipped out of position. This can cause that. Ive seen it happen. If the shifter is worn, let me know, I have extras.

Ok thanks. If you have seen it that is probably the case. I'll se in a few. Thanks

Just seen this happen during the Camp Grayling Color Tour last month.

With tcase in neutral and "pushing a truck with a strap" lol, Back to base camp, the cover was pulled and revealed a trans without fluid and the input shaft bearing coming apart.

Sorry to tell you this but Bob has your problem pegged.

Your input shaft bearing is seized. The transmission can probably be saved.

I am embarrassed to say but I can tell you guys.... The tranny was empty. It was my fault. I had pulled the rear drive shaft to tow her home and forgot to refill it. luckily, I refilled it and the bearing freed up. It'll be ok to drive around slow in the yard till I get my new tranny. I will keep this one as a rebuildable core. Yep, I am a dumbass

Not sure what or why, but I sure do encounter a lot of 151's with low/no gear oil in the trans.

Don't feel bad your not the first nor will you be the last. The way they howl you won't notice one bearing burning up.

I know of more than one person (whom should know better) that have experienced the same condition.

i had a 42 ford 1 tonner do this to me,
turns out a tooth chipped off, and was locking the input shaft up.

once i pulled the trans apart and fished the chunk out it was fine

the same trans is still in it today
