I got a call tonight from the Fiancee saying she had a dilema with her truck.

It appears as when she was backing out of her driveway the truck wouldn't move. It only goes into Reverse, when the indicators in Neutral, and only goes into Drive when the Indicators in 2.

IIRC there is a thumbwheel somewhere under the dash that adjusts this needle. But what causes it to jump out of place to begin with and so sudden at that.

I have not seen it since it happened, and I am hoping that's all it is, but she said it doesn't seem like it want's to go now, and when I asked if it slowed down real quick when the accelerator was release she said yes.... So I think it may not be in Drive, but actually going into 2ND.

What internally if anything would cause this to happen?

She says when she puts it into drive (which is now 2) the O/D OFF light comes on also!

This does not sound good!
 












The gear shift is where it is supposed to be. It detends the first stop in reverse, second neutral, third drive etc. So the shifter is where it needs to be, the needle is whacked. Where is the adjustment for the needle?

Thanks
