Hello,

I just was given a 1996 with 330,000 miles! Hard to believe anything works but it does...the previous owner said that second gear and fourth gear "went out", currently I'm going from first gear to third and then fifth. The shifter is pretty sloppy. I felt around for second and could not find it nor fourth. But today I happened to pull back from third and found fourth....I'm thinking second is still there as well and I need to replace the shifter linkage. It looks like I can do it without dropping the engine or transmission, but it looks terribly tight. Has anyone experience with this challenge?

Thanks,

G

Roll Pin

Yeah, I saw that roll pin on a you-tube post....how the heck do you press/pound it out from above??? What a nightmare....turns out I do indeed have second gear as well. It seems that anxious teen-agers were driving it and jamming the shifter all around...I find that driving and shifting normal (with two fingers) is the right touch. All gears present and accounted for!!!
