I have a 1999 2WD 2.5L 5 speed manual (M5OD-R1) that I recently bought for $600 that is stuck in 4th gear. Apparently this happened while the previous owner (17 year old kid) was out driving it.
I do not know how this happened, but I do know that it has a new clutch and a different flywheel put on recently. So far all I have done is to put the rear end up on jack stands, take the shift lever off to look down inside of the transmission, and try to see if I can move the shifter linkage out of gear and into neutral. Unfortunately nothing I have tried has worked yet.
Any ideas of what to try next, or does this require dropping the transmission to repair?
