They were certainly not loose but I did not check them for wear. Now that you mention that, the retainer it self looked a little odd, almost like it had been cut slightly. I will go back and check the cover and the pins.

I just read through "H42 Stuck In Gear" leading me to believe that it may be the detent ball and springs. Looks like this weekends project Thanks for all the help

Thanks for the input. Got it rolling today. The retainer rotates clockwise FYI. I was able to remove the shift cane and it did not appear to have any excess wear. I had two friends rock the vehicle and was able to shift into gear. Soooo now what? Is the excess travel in the cane normal?

Thanks, I will give that a try

1976 FJ40 4 speed transmission all stock. Moved the shift lever to reverse and it seems like came back and to the left too far. It did not engage and now I cannot move it at all. I looked up threads for removing the lever and was going to attempt that until one post mentioned making sure it...

Was this a vehicle you are familiar with? was it functioning when you dismantled it? How many miles on it?

Is starter still available? If so how much? Shipping to 06791?

So my issue ending up being a weakened battery due to the never ending cranking and a bad battery ground wire and terminal.

If those are available I am interested

Is there a solution to the heat soaked starter, or will headers solve that as well.

So today I opened the hood to start planning my next step to trying to solve this hot start problem. I was going to try to wrap the fuel lines with some rubber hose or maybe try to cobble up some sort of heat shield. I started tracing the fuel lines to decide how to proceed and their routing...

Another good idea, 1969FJ, the radiator is rebuilt but it wouldn't hurt to check

So today was the first chance got to try the hot start procedure. Drove around for about 1/2 an hour came home parked it waited about 10 minutes. Wouldn't start. It did sound like it was struggling to crank, and I didn't hear the bubbling or boiling this time and there was a small amount of...

Ok, so next time I take it for a spin, I will attempt to restart is by pushing the pedal to the floor without pumping. No choke. Should I still be concerned with the bubbling or boiling of the fuel in the carb? Would insulating the fuel lines be a plan? If so is there a product someone...

Thanks Splangy, I will give that a try, in my driveway of course! SGGoat, I'll look into that Tancruiser, aside from the small cans they sell for small power equipment, where would i find ethanol free gasoline.
