Hi all - working on a 68 bertram with twin chryslers. The port motor trans wont budge. Currently its in neutral - the PO broke shift cable on fly bridge trying to shift probably..
I will remove the cooler and pressure test it but im sure the cooler i shot which is why the fluid is pink.
Anyway - drained it and refilled with atf mercon - still stuck. I removed cables and noticed the shift ball bearing is missing so will buy a 5/16 and spring and put that in.
Could a ball bearing cause this? I cant get the arm to budge! Ill remove the snap ring and inspect the shift spool, it might be binding - hopefully getting that free might get it going again..
Any other ideas? If the cooler is bad, can I bypass or install a air cooled one (like on a truck)?
