It appears this is a 5 speed manual transmission. There may be shift linkage problems between the shift lever and transmission. also bushings. I strongly recommend a repair manual specificly for this transmission. possibly filespeep.com or manualslib.com
How is the clutch and throwout bearing?
The linkage may be out of adjustment preventing the shifter from moving into reverse or park.
One way to test this is to disconnect the linkage and manually move the lever on the transmision making sure that it can be set into park. Also try moving the lever counting each click from park to low gear to make sure it is clicking into each gear. If this works then the linkage is probably out of adjustment.
On the link cable there is typically a bolt in an oval shaped metal near the transmission shift lever.
1)Detach the shift cable from the transmission shift lever
2)Put the transmision shift lever in the park position, and also the shifter in the cab
3)Loosen the adjustment bolt
4)Reattach the cable to the lever
5)Tighten the adjustment bolt in place
6)Confirm that you can shift through all of the gears
Hope this helps
Hi...your problem is usually caused by the ****** shift linkage being stuck in two gears at the same time which can sometimes happen from shifting out of sequence. In order to fix this you need to get under the vehicle and manually shift one of the trannys linkage levers into a different position to free it so you will be able to shift normally once again. NOTE: Be extremely careful when working under the vehicle and take every precaution to ensure your safety first and foremost!
Souds like worn linkage problem, at the transmission try to remove the levers and hope you can pull it out of the 2nd gear then inspect all the rubber bushings at the end of the shift levers.replace as needed and problem should not happen again. in the case that you can not get it out of 2nd gear either pay an experienced tech to do it or replace the transmission.
It's gotta be the cable/linkage. You just have to inspect them and see if something is worn or snapped. They get old and crusty and need to be replaced eventually. I had to replace my shift cable on my 86 se with the 5-speed getrag.
