Hey guys. Still in the middle of sorting out all the issues. Then I noticed yesterday, it was becoming harder and harder to engage 5th gear. It just would not engage. It's not that it goes in and pops out. All other gears are fine although I have had occasional issues shifting to reverse. But I had the reverse issues in past cars sporadically. I know the reverse and 5th gear share the common rod. Do you think that could be the issue? If so, shouldn't I be having the same issue with reverse??
When car's off, I can shift all gears alright. But when it's in 5th gear, I don't hear that typical click when I shake the shifter. Could this just be the linkage problem?
According to the factory manual, there's OD position switch connector on the transmission although mine is manual. Could this be the issue?
I am just hoping I wouldn't have to have the transmission down. Online research mentions synchronizer, whole clutch replacement and so on that I'm not familiar with. I'm still new to fixing complicated issues like this.
