47 Willy's

Just brought home an 47 Willy's . Runs great needs some brake work .
Not sre if i need a new clutch or linkage. Was driving it around the
yard and after 20 minutes of fun the tranny would not go into gear.
Pushed it back to the garage for the night. The next day i started it up
and the it shifted just fine like nothing happend. Any ideas? Thanks

Umm...
when you get a little older... you tire more easily?
Sorry... I couldn't resist.
Hope you find the cure.

Cool.

I would be thinking linkage or engine or tranny mount allowing something
to shift so it won't.

I also would be checking the gear oil out. They can refuse to shift if
too hot from being dry....

Mike thats what i was thinking. The little Jeep was just used around the
guys farm. Hard saying if they even changed the oil. I'll change all the
fluids and then see what happens. And when i'm under there i'll look
over the linkage. Sure looks good sitting next to my 87 . They say Jeep
ownership is like a sickness. You can never have enough of them. Thanks
for the help.

Damn!

I thought you had died.

Well, you will soon, so there's still hope.

Hope that info is more up-to-date than you are, Jurassic Porky.


Now load up PowerPest1986 and blast some spam.

Not here of course, you're to AFRAID to do that, and not AUK either,
you're TERRIFIED of them.

I would say just change the fluid. You will most likely find water. Change
the transfer case also.

BTW, It's "Willys" as in Willys-Overland. Not "Willy's" as in belonging
to a guy named Willy.
