just had the engine replaced on my '88 fj62. ran home the other morning to grab it , so i could drop it off to have the muffler connected. started backing up my steep driveway and it just decided not to go any further. no loud noises, no abrupt jerking, it just gradually refused to back up the hill. shifted into neutral and coasted back down. it's an automatic, and all the forward gears work perfectly. shifter clicks into place as usual, just not engaging. pushed it into a parking space that faces the hill. fluid was near the low end but not out. added some lucas stop slip. still nothing, and have tried it a few times since.
this is an extra vehicle/long term project, and at this point, the expense of a rebuild or replace is just not gonna happen. in other words, once i get the muffler connected, i'm perfectly willing to find a parking space at lowe's or home depot or walmart or wherever, that doesn't require me to back out.
looking for the creative minds here to give me some alternatives. maybe it's some sort of connection between the shifter and the tranny. i have no clue, that's why i'm here.
an anecdote about how yours was fixed without a rebuild or replace is a definite bonus. thanks in advance.
