| Description of the problem | I was in motion driving my jeep rubicon off road in 4wd high and was heading down a steep slop and while shifting my 6 speed manual transmission from 3rd to 2nd the gear shift arm pulled of its mount. Due to the shift arm assembly coming off, i missed 2nd gear and ended up stuck in neutral. Before i realized exactly what happened i had traveled about 20 yards freewheeling. Due to the speed increase i had to apply my brakes which then caused the jeep to slide sideways. I was able to gain control and ride the brakes down to the bottom of the slope where i investigated what happened and then had to make temporary repairs as i was stuck in a ravine with no easy way out. After a couple of hours attempting to get the shift assembly reinstalled i was able to drive out of the ravine and back to camp to improve the temp repair. I did not drive the jeep again that weekend until i was ready to head home. I drove it the 280 miles home with the temporary repair in place. |
