Devil B737 Gear Lever Jammed Up Plus Eng Failure

I'm surprised our sim weirdos in our company haven't thought about this scenario yet:

GEAR LEVER JAMMED IN THE UP POSITION after a go-around.

You depressurize sys. A, it takes time, fuel is short, drop the gear manually,and when at last you're on final, engine 1 fails!

In the arousal of the moment some of our guys might even miss the fact that the gear has raised again, and land without shoes...


Now, my poit is: wouldn't it be wise, after that GEAR LEVER JAMMED IN THE UP POSITION cklist, pull the two LANDING GEAR TRANSFER VALVES c/b?

Landing with the lever up is not natural in an airplane... even if you have depressurized sys.A.
In case engine 1 fails, the Landing Gear Transfer Valve would not raise the gear with sys.B.

Opinions?
