When I bought this truck(1993 4.0L/M5OD-R1 4x2), I was warned that 1st and 2nd gear were "out". Well, when I tried to play around with it today, I found that the shifter clicked into the positions for 1st and 2nd, but when I let out on the clutch, nothing happened. I even tried rocking the shifter back and forth between the two. Nothing.
I stuck it in 3rd, and was able to take off. 4th, 5th, and Reverse work fine. No noise, nothing.
I pulled the sight plug on the side of the transmission, and checked the fluid. it was a little bit low but there was enough in there. The fluid also looked fairly decent.
So, Im starting to wonder... could it be that the shift fork might have broken off, or something?
