Trapn6.0 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Looking at picking up a 91. Seller said won't shift into park. Stops at reverse. Any ideas from yall what it might be. Pics show it being a column shift to. Thanks Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Probably a shifter cable out of adjustment or broke . The pawl may be broke but I have yet to see one that has..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 ^^ Most likely this. However the transmission brackets for the cable may be loose, or the bushing at the end of the cable is worn, or even MIA. Bushing replacements are available. http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/Transmission_and_Transfer_Case/Transmission_Automatic_Shifter_Adjustments.htm http://comancheclub.com/topic/51298-transmission-not-responding-to-shifter-aw4/?hl=bushing&do=findComment&comment=522543 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 What the above fine fellas said. Check the cable that goes down to the driver side of the transmission. If the cable is tight on the shift arm then the cable may just be out of adjustment. Pretty unlikely it's anything wrong internally with the transmission. Could also be something wrong with the column shifter assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Buy it. Convert it to an XJ floor shifter. Win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daking Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Not exactly related to your issue. I have a floor shifter, that will do the same thing. It won't go in to park. The issue is the frame that holds the shift lever gets "Tweaked". It gets Tweaked because the button on the top (that has to be pressed to allow the shifter to move) does not work all the time. So, the driver "Strong arms" the lever, usually in a fit of rage. bending the bracket, causing the lever to not go all the way up (park) or all the way down. It can be bent back in to shape, by forcing it the other way (with out pressing the shift button) till its proper. The button malfunction is caused by a plastic part inside the shaft of the shifter. This plastic part known as "Anal Beads" wears out, or actually gets shorter. So, now I'm looking for new Anal beads for my XJ floor shifter. anyone know where I can buy em?
