#2821, "RE: HELP!!! Tranny will not go into 2nd 4th or reverse" In response to In response to 5
You kind of answered your own question. The one linkage that control forward and back on the stick isn't moving the shifter fork. So the trans sees the sifter in only the forward position, so you have 1, 3, 5, when you move the stick side to side.
