So... Been chatting with zukkev about my 'binding' issue.. And I may want to look into a shifter fix kit as my current stick is pretty wiggly... So far I'm finding these type of fixes...

I like the idea... And will probly do it... But my question is: when I would get 'bound up', I was still able to shift from first to reverse and try to let out the clutch... But the 'lockup' would only kill the engine when I let out the clutch... So... This is making me lean towards a T-case problem and not a tranny problem?
Crash, war-jeeper, and those that were with me at elbe when she locked up last... Whatcha think? T-case linkage slop issue? Should I start there... Or look deeper? I'll probly wheel it as is til I can get some parts in... And hopefully diagnose it better if it happens again... Last time I would just bang the sticks around while trying the clutch til it broke free... And then it works like it never happened at all... Just trying to track down all the gremlins. ..
