That's what I like about manual transmissions, in my eyes much easier to work on. Not that I have much experience or know what I'm talking about at all, but I'd like to think I could feel my way through a repair. Quality time with dad!
if my memory serves me right i believe you may need to replace the detente balls if there worn it will jump out of gear being many years since i did transmission stuff i could be wrong
Sorry to hear you are having a problem brother I'm not a transmission rebuilder by far but like you when you have s problem you try to fix it my opinion bro the shift fork is usually bad because of something else bad gear bad bearings bad clips or one to many 3rd gear misses may be time for a rebuild 😢
+1Wild CamaroSS I'm hopeful , because I noticed that the fork rod for 3/4 slid around freely and 1/2 didn't but I didn't put 2and2 together , and when I removed the rod the balls didn't pop up they stayed put
Oh man that does suck I was so hoping it would be the issue for you. Well maybe it won't be so hard to fix..No doubt it is some wearing of parts just finding them maybe a bit tricky.
My62 c10 drops out of 2ndwhen you back off on the acceleratoion.I have a replacement trans but I think it grinds into 3rd. I can't remember Gonna have to run these two trans until I figure it all out.
It is karma for throwing me out there in front of the bus LOL . I hope you get it right just giving you crap brother I know the camaro is getting old for you
Is there detent balls and springs on the selector linkage on that gearbox? I had this before and it was a broken Spring. They very small and in the top of the gearbox.
You know what I think you may have the answer , I noticed when the cover was off that 3/4 fork shaft slid back and forth in the case but 1/2 did not , yes it has detent balls and that makes perfect sense , that's what I will replace next , that's a bunch !
nice try . but normaly its something else that wears the shift forks . endfloat or a worn thrust bush/bearing allows too much movement . go check out gearboxvideo , good info and helped me do a job on a 69 monaro . love charlie brown even still and im over the hill now lol
Needs an updated 3rd gear
I hope it's something simple. I really like that blazer.
I think it might be
Bummer! If you decide to rebuild it, I'd love to see a video on it.
Yeah eventually I will

Yep I think she likes it out there , change of scenery
Either worn synchro detents or sometimes the end play on the shaft is too much. Generally end play can get you in more than one gear.
Thanks

No problem , part of having old stuff and the cool thing a , I can fix it if it was an automatic tranny I would have to pay someone else
+MrFireman164 cool hope the suggestion about the Detent and springs helps

MrFireman164 Hope it works out brother
+1Wild CamaroSS thanks
It's going to need an overhaul Roger.
I'm going to try one more thing
Might be thrust washer broken. It's what happened to my 71 gmc.

Get the Novak rebuild kit. It has the 3rd gear fix.
This little spring and ball kit fixed mine

I'm going to put new detent balls and springs in and see how that works out
That stinks, man. Good luck on your next phase of troubleshooting.
