Hi Imler's; Well, here is the continuation of the 61 Imperial transmission saga as of late yesterday afternoon. I had to call a tow truck yesterday afternoon and they came and picked the car up backwards on their lift with me in the car and then they backed up to my one car garage and then tilted the bed of the tow truck down and slowly dumped the Imperial back into the garage with me steering the car. We got it all back in the garage safely, so I don't know what's going on with the transmission. I followed some of the suggestions that several Imler's told me to do concerning checking the cable and the pushbuttons but I didn't see any cable adjustment on the transmission, just the cable going into the transmission that seemed fine and as for the pushbuttons, I took off the pushbutton cover and inside of the housing all looked well inside of that. The transmission seems to know if its in neutral or not. I tried to see if the car would now start in Reverse or Drive since the transmission quit working, but it would only start in Neutral so I know that part is good. Whenever you push the buttons on the dash, you don't hear any clunk from the motor on the transmission that shifts it into drive or reverse. I even let the car run about 30 minutes, seeing if it might shift into first or second gear, but I didn't have any luck. Its almost like the motor that puts the car into different gears isn't working. I even looked to see if this motor had a fuse on it that may have blown but I didn't see any under the hood or under the dash. If anybody has any other suggestions as what to do, I would greatly appreciate it because I'm at a total loss as what to do now. Sincerely, John Nimmo Get more from the Web.
