I had the e-brake on, took the car out of gear, waited about thirty seconds, took off e-brake and had no gears. All the linkage to the tranny is good and seems to work fine. What could this be? And how much is it going to cost me? Also any ideas of other things I should do while the tranny is out? All help is appericeated.

About all I know at this point is that all the linkage works up to the housing of the tranny. Please help... Thanks.

At least that's what happened to mine. Ended up getting it rebuilt under extended warranty because it was something that broke inside. Hope this helps and isn't the problem, but shouldn't take to long for a good shop to fix. Mike I have a dream, and that is a 69 Boss 302 with Jules Asner in it.

The extreme sides have resistance but the front/back motion is completley free. I don't know I think while it's down I'll do a LSD and mabey a new clutch. Anything else I need with that? Much thanks to everyone for their help!

Since it's all apart, no extra labor should be applied. Wouldn't hurt to throw in a Quaife either I have a dream, and that is a 69 Boss 302 with Jules Asner in it.
