01 2.3l manual rwd M5OD
Long story short, my shift bushing disintegrated during a blizzard. I lost all transmission of power to the wheels. Got the smell of burnt toast. After swapping out the bushing, inspecting and removing brushing pieces from the trans, new clutch, flywheel, bearing, rear main seal. I checked the fork, synchros, and cycled through every gear by hand with and withou the top cover on then double checked before installation. Thought I had it this time. So I have attached some videos.
The first video is of me putting the truck into 1st and releasing the clutch.
The second is of me trying to move and give it gas to go in first gear.
