Re: 83 caprice , transmission not engaging drive gears
So i was able to drop the pan and change the oil and filter . i found the problem , it was lying in the bottom of the pan . A piece of some sort of lever mechanism was lying in the oil broken off . The detent/throttle cable was attached . i doubt any auto parts places stock this part that broke and i have never changed a transmission . For me to bother to go to junkyard for this part , i would have to drop the pan on the junkyard car . So then if i went that far , it would just make sense to get a used transmission from the junkyard . Al this for a car with 166,000 miles on it . So looks like this caprice will be getting sold for parts or going to the scrap bin of history . Sucks because the 305 is still strong in it .

Re: 83 caprice , transmission not engaging drive gears
I'll second that notion. Take your pieces to a local trans shop and ask if they can source the part(s). It may be easier than you might think.
