Transmission problem

[DoggyDaddy]

It is terribly hard on vehicles when they just sit.

Hard on people too as I'm finding out since I've been working from home since March...

Your avitar picture looks familiar. One of the girls, the artist, had to wear my wife's shaw with stars on it on the 4th. On her it looked like a cape.

Just had another thought...do you feel the truck trying to go into gear? Our '88 has been sitting a lot the last few months since I mainly just drive it in the winter. The brakes were locked up on the rear wheel the other day. I couldn't get the truck to move, but could feel it kicking into gear. Sledge hammer persuaded the drum to come off so we could fix the locked up brake.

It would roll in neutral.

The rubber break hoses wear from the inside out. Sometimes a stuck break is fluid not going the other way through the hose because the worn lining blocks it, like a heart valve.

In our case, it was rust from the truck sitting. The cylinder was leaking and the brake shoe was very worn. Lots of rust. My initial thought was the transmission when I went to drive it and it wouldn't move but then I realized I could feel it trying to go into gear and move.
