Tremec TKO Problem ?
I have a problem with my Tremec TKO. Just currious to post this question, before I remove it from my cobra which is a pain in the @ss. The only gears that work are 1st, 3rd & fifth. Can't even get it into reverse. I did not feel any problems before it happened or hear any bad sounds. I was driving it on the highway, got onto town at the first stop light, tried to downshift to no avail. Turned around & went home. I'll have to have a friend check into it for me this week. I was involved in a wreck with the sprint car Sat. night. I tore two rotator cups in my shoulder, sliped #6 disk and ruptured #7 dick in my neck so, I can't work on the cobra myself. Anyway, any ideas on what happened ? Shift rod binding ect...
We'll find out what happened but, just currious what you guys think.
Thanks,
Kev

Remove the tunnel and take off the covers on top of the tranny, this will give you a good idea of whats happened without pulling it. I wasn't aware that we had a #7 dick in our neck either!

Ruptured a #7 dick in your neck. I do believe that's a felony in these parts. How is the other guy doing?

Adjust your clutch first.....If not disengaging completely you will have shifting problems!!! 
I have had a bunch of cable problems and know the symtoms well. 
Give it a try.....Much easier than R & R tranny!!

Kev,
Check the 2 shifter bolts, they might be loose. ??? I think more shift related, since none of the gears on the rear side of the shift patten are inop.

If you have an after market shifter (Pro 5.0) the rear shift limit bolt may have loosened up. Remove the shift boot and check it out.

Ya know, sometimes in life, we actually make things harder for ourselves, as I did about the tranny. All it was....... one bolt fell out of the trans. crossmember, just tilting it a enough so the shifter handle would hit the back of opening in the tunnel. Ba-deep Ba-deep.....that's all folks !!!
Thanks for all the ideas guys.

TKO
When my TKO would not shift into reverse, 2 nd and 4 th I found a piece of rubber and carpet between the shifter and the stop. Remove them and adjuster the stop a small amount. No more problem.
