Ok so i bought a car and it only shifted 1st 3rd and 5th and was really hard. Car was in a accident to at first i was thinking bent shift linkage. Wrong. Took the transmission out and opened it up tried shifting and for some reason it only shifts 2 gears and i don't know which gears those are because i know little to nothing about transmissions. I only got the helms manual, and some pictures on working with the tranny. Well I was messing around and was wondering why it shifts 2 gears only, WALA this daym thing isnt moving the other thing to get to the synchros. I don't know the name so good thing i took pictures and also have a video. 56k friendly also. So what will i need to do? I haven't read the helms manual yet about putting a tranny back together and i'll be doing that now while people can share some inputs.

</TD></TR></TABLE> Almost there. It's the select arm. Daym bastard. Oh yea, this just shows that even though you dont know **** about something, go try to fix it and in the end you'll end up with alot more knowledge. for me finding out the problem. Now I just need to find where I can get the whole select arm assembly used. Anyone know where in socal?

</TD></TR></TABLE>Yeup that is the best way. A better way is to have a experience person guiding you though. you don't think i can go to a junkyard and pull a tranny apart and just get it out one of the trannies there?

 

good job. good way to learn things. DIY
