After 9 years and 215,000 miles, my 93 Rover has finally stranded me.
Here's the situation: I parked on a hill, put it in park, didn't pull the emergency brake for some reason. Consequently, there's a lot of load on the tranny. Came back to the vehicle, put in the key, and it won't turn at all -is locked up tight.
I did all the tricks -- turned the steering wheel left to right, (now it's locked). I jiggled the shifter, jiggled the key, nothing. I tried a second key, still won't turn.
Any ideas before i have to call a wrecker and disengage the drive shaft, etc.?? If i can move it backwards to relieve some of the load, would that help? Any help appreciated!
thanks!
