1968 360 3speed 2nd won't engage

Post by Jimmy5150 »

I just did a swap on a 67 f100 put a 360 in it...most everything went pretty well except now it won't engage
2nd gear..third and first and reverse all work...it sounds like it is locking in place under the truck..

I have tried to manually put it in 2 and it is there just seems like still in neutral...

When I start it and try to move it when 2 is engaged it behaves like in neutral...


Any suggestions are welcome...I'm at my wits end and wanna get this thing going

If your transmission worked ok before the swap, all you probably need to do is adjust your linkage. If it did not work ok, it is time to inspect the internals to find the problem.
