I woke up early this morning so I thought I would come into work early! Went out got in the jeep, started it up and put it drive and it didn't move an inch. Tried to put it back in park and it won't back so now my key is stuck in the ignition as well. I didn't have time to mess with it this morning but I'm guessing that the linkage fell off on the bottom of the shifter. Because when I tried to shift into the other gear their was absolutely no resistance on the shifter and nothing was moving. So hopefully, when I get home this afternoon I can just pop up the console and look down inside there and fix it.

Isn't it funny how the smallest things can cripple us like that? And it always seems to occur at the best/worst times?

Borken huh? :D Sounds like linkage.

Don't rip that console apart just yet, you will find that there's just a cable until you get to the transmission. The auto tranny linkage bolts to the driver's side of the transmission down there. I'm 99% sure from the shift handle to the tranny it's just a cable. On the side of the tranny the bracket has 2 bolts in it, but I doubt those backed out. There is a stainless post about an inch in diameter that comes out of the tranny and that is what the linkage actually turns to change the gears in inside. There is a ring around that post which is connected to the cable form the shifter. Most likely that ring has come loose and is not turning the post anymore. There should be a small bolt you can tighten to re-seat it. Make sure that the corresponding flat side on both the ring and post match up and you may wanna throw a dab of loc-tite on there.
Hope this helps. Let us know what you find.

You may be able to get to it without taking off the skid. I can't remember how far the tranny sits up in the tub, but the linkage is on the side so if you can get some light and a hand to it and see if it's loose or not that would save you some time. Good luck. I hate these freakin skids so much. Mine was so bent up that one time after I took it off it flexed out and there were not 2 holes that lined up on opposite sides so I had to drill them out a pretty good ways. I have a piece a scrap hanging to the bottom of my Jeep :bs) :D It will go when I get the time cause I've got plenty of metal.
Anyways, good luck with the fix. Keep us updated.

Ok, I finally crawled under the jeep today and found the problem. Now my problem is I don't know how to fix it. What I found was that the cable came off right where it connects to the shift arm on the tranny. It's a ball and socket connection, so all I did for now was take a couple of zip ties to it.
-
It should snap back on. If not you will prob need a new cable.

After doing just a little research I came across these:

Where is the cable disconnected exactly? Is the problem not the end ring where it connects to the shift post? This is the 42RLE right? 03-06 automatic?

Edit: Right before it goes into the tranny right? You should be able to loosen the screw on the ring and slide it back on the arm then tighten it back down.

Ok I think I know what part your talking about know. Did that arm break or are the bushings just shot? I don't see how the cable could come disconnected if the end at the shift post didn't come off...
-
Looks just like this!

AH! Gotcha. Looks like that bushing kit will do the trick for you, and it's cheap so worth a whack.

Sounds to me that you already fixed it! ;D

It wasn't one of our planes, it was on someone elses plane we were working on. Actually it wasn't even an American Carrier, it was owned by Arab's. I hope this clears up a few things, but I know that it will hold at faster than 200mph, when preped proper.
