Didn't mean to go all "owners-manual" on you Matt. But even though you'd said you'd been wheeling for years in one post, all I remembered was the other post where you said to help a newbie out and saw you ask about what a TC was.
So I thought too-much-information would be just enough.

Paul

well I do apologize also to you..I know how e-mails can be/sound..

I am new to Bronco building and wheeling it. I have had it sitting in the garage for 8 years swearing I would not "wheel it"..well the jeep got sold and I need to hit the dirt.

..so I apologize to you .

.I DO NEED ADVICE and it is not good to bite the hand that feeds ya!,,sorry;D ;D

Ahhh, so YOU were being facetious then? Hah!
Nah, no problem. Starting with the basics is often a legit way to track down a mystery problem, but I should have read what you were saying more closely anyway.

You are starting out at a disadvantage when it comes to Broncos though. The J-shift was not always seen as one of Ford's better ideas. It worked, but could get awkward.
Though I've seen plenty of T-shifts in the same boat, none of mine or my friend's T-shifters ever gave any trouble and even if we had to back up, we only needed a few feet to un-bind things.
So what they all said makes sense. Look into the shifter to make sure it's not all worn out and maybe replace it with one of the setups mentioned.

Did you mention whether you were running a manual or automatic transmission?

Thanks
