1986 Toyota 4X4 Truck 22R carb engine manual transmission.
My son was driving it and the rear wheels locked up. Driving in 2 High mode. He got the truck pulled over to the side of the road using 4X4 high after locking in the front hubs then called me.
I tested clutch, engine etc. Engine runs fine, clutch works. Engage transmission and start to release clutch and tranny binds up, (2 high) rear wheels slightly turn, maybe about 1/8 revolution do not turn fully. the engine bogs down and dies like having the parking brake on and just lugging the engine down.
I removed the drive shaft and the rear wheels turned freely, but the transmission appears frozen.
I'm thinking the transmission broke a gear and needs a rebuild. Any comments or thoughts of what to check before laying out the money for a rebuild?
-   My 1990 Toy std truck, 2wheel drive, 4 speed manual tranny locked up in the driveway. Gearshift will not go into either 1st or 2nd. 3rd & 4th feel like the engcy brake is on. motor strains to move forward but will not move veh. When gearshift is in what feels like the neutral position the truck backs up when I let clutch out. There is no neutral position, or out of gear. There was no loud pop or bang and no chattering of gear when this happened. It just stuck. -   Bucky2u
I've seen a similar issue on other transmissions where the shifter slips out of the slots in the shift forks, either due to shifter bushing wear or just general wear on tte trans. It can usually be remedied at least temporarily by popping the shifter top off the trans and resetting the forks all back to nuetral and then reinserting the shifter. It gets jammed when two forks are trying to engage two different gear sets.
On one of the 4x4 sites, they tell you how to replace the shifter bushings, cheap fix if you are lucky.
Good luck.
