Hello everyone, I've been a member for a long time but never had the need to post. There is so much helpful information I can usually find what I need. So I have an 85 M1008 here in Maine that I plow with. Its always run great and pushed snow like a beast. This past storm I got in, 5am, and started pushing snow. When I put it in Drive it acted like neutral, so I shifted down into 2nd and made a pass. Reverse was fine. Went to make a second pass, once again acted like neutral in Drive so went to 2nd and it did fine. Once I hit the snowbank that's where she stayed. No reverse, no action in any gear.
So I checked fluid, its clean and at the right level. The linkage all seems fine, column is deffinatly shifting the trannny. Truck has about 70,000 miles on it and I've never had a problem. Only thing I can think of is I had someone else plow for me while I was away earlier this winter and they confessed to putting it in reverse while still traveling forward and vice-a-versa because they were tight on time and wanted to get the plowing done. Would this wreck a tranny? And any thoughts on these symptoms? Im getting a rebuild quote of $1800. Also I've read the vacuum lines and modulator are known issues but would these symptoms be inline with those problems?
Any thoughts tips or advice would be great.
Thanks
