transmission problems

[GI FARMER]

I have a deweze hay mobale wagon ( small square bale mover) anyway it has a dodge 360 V8 and a 5 speed ?process? trans that right now is STUCK IN 5th GEAR. I took the top plate off and don't see anything obvious but still can't seem to get it into N any help would be great. Does anyone know if you can pull the trans from the bellhousing even though its stuck in gear? Thanks

I had something like that with a similar truck transmission some years ago... a snap ring had come of of one of the shift collars/synchros.

I was able to get it back in place without removing the tranny by taking the top cover off.

That's what I'd do first... remove the top cover and have a look down inside.

And, yes, you CAN reove the tranny from the engine/bellhousing even if it's stuck in gear.

Thanks Bob
I took the top cover off am can see down in ther pretty good but I did not see anything wrong but I don't really know much about the insides of a 5 speed but thanks for the reply.

If I"m not mistaken, 5th gear behind the tailshaft housing, with its own fork. There was a problem with those gears coming loose. (I think it was a snap ring coming off) They make an updated locking nut to solve the problem.

Good news I had a real transmission guy come out in about 10 seconds he had it in N then took the top off and sais here is the problem a roll pin in one of the forks had broke and let 3 & 5 slam together now all is well thanks for the advice.
