Transmission stuck in Park after rebuild

[intern]

Hello.

After I changed the bushing in my 727 from 76 the transmission is stuck in Park but I can turn the output shaft.

So I am guessing I messed something up with the park lock rod when reinstalling the extension housing.

Today I am going to remove the extension housing again to see what went wrong. Is there a trick or a special position the transmission should be in when installing the extension housing?

Also: should there be some kind of spring that pushes the parking lock piece back? When i hammered out the old bushing 2 pieces did fall out of the extension housing. The lock piece and the axle where it rotates on. But no spring or something that holds the lock piece back.

Thanks,
Jonas

If you can turn the driveshaft it is not stuck in park. What makes you think is stuck in park if you can turn the shaft? There is a spring on the park sprag.

If you can turn the driveshaft it is not stuck in park. What makes you think is stuck in park if you can turn the shaft?

The leveler on the transmission is stuck in Park position.

My guessing is, that the rod simply sits wrong in the housing and does not push the sprag into the "park wheel". Not sure if that is possible.

I will check the area where the spring did fall out and hope I will find it... It was outside on the gras though...

Is there a online shop where i can order the spring?

Thank you for your help!

Ahh, i see
Yeah, sounds like the park pawl is jammed up/installed wrong. Im not sure where you could get the spring. Probably have to buy it used from someone
