GetRag Transmission Problems

[GaFisher]

I have a 90 D-250 4x4, when I try to shift into 3rd and 4th they wont engage, it seems like the gears have slid, they say there is a nut that comes loose on the output shaft, I dropped the transfer case and the housing that connects the tranny and the transfer case, I dont see the so called nut. If anyone who has any advice please let me know.Call me at 229-412-3637, any information will be helpful.

The nut you're talking about is more of a problem with the NV4500 transmission in the 2nd Gen trucks. You may need to pull the tower off and see if there is a problem in there. If nothing is obviously wrong it may be time to tear into it.

Yep, no loose nut on the getrag. They are easy to rebuild, make sure You buy a master kit if You do and check/replace the syncross bearing balls.
Btw You say Your truck is a d-250 but if it is 4x4 it should be w250 unless You converted it to 4wd.

I didnt think there was one but i was just making sure, thanks for the tips and also on the side of my truck it says Power Ram D-250, and in the books at oreilys there isnt a '90 W-250

Your fender says Power Ram 250, nowhere is there a "D". Power Ram means it's a 4x4, 4x2s just said Ram 250.

Sorry about that it does just say 250...i stand corrected my apologies.

 

[crashnzuk]

Not a big deal, it just helps when you are dealing with online forums it's good to be accurate when looking for information. Just remember, D is 2wd and W is 4wd. No different than Chevy, C is 2wd and K is 4wd.

ah okay gotcha but anyways i gotta drop the tranny, im not taking the bell housing off just the tranny, it seems like its on their pretty good, should i just try and pry it on off or what?

 

[Exekiel69]

Yes, You pull the tranny from the bell. Pulling it should be easy, the bear is to put it back some times but then I've always done this on a ford.

On my getrag and a lot of others that i've heard about, the shifter forks wear out. I had this problem with first, heard its from people resting (putting weight) on the shifter constantly while its in gear...

Sounds like the 3-4 shift fork to me.

Sounds like a 3/4 shift fork to me, but, twice on my truck shift fork has been a predecessor of transmission failure.
