alright well if you have read my other post about destroying my front, theres more. for those that don't the front end of my truck broke through some ice today while trail riding, it was in quite a bit of water. the truck ran fine once i got it unstuck shifted perfect and everything. i shut it off for a few hours at my moms house, went to leave and now it won't shift out of 1st gear. the temperature outside has dropped bellow freezing now so idk if i got water in there and it froze or what?

what do you guys think, should i dropping the pan and draining all the fluid out and putting all new fluid in, or am i up **** creek? thanks in advance

I would try to warm it up and dry out, then drain and replace for a start

I would try a heat lamp first, less chance of fire/explosion
