I have a m5od (5-spd) transmission.
It would not shift into any other gear but 4th. However I did have neutral.
This led me to believe it was an issue with the top end of the tranny. I was unable to remove it with the tranny in place.
So... I followed write ups how to remove the transmission and finally get the top end removed. I found the culprit. A pin sticking half out of a shift fork rail binding the shift fork enough to not allow it to shift out to any other gear.
circled in red is where the pin came from
said pin
actual picture....
With the pin removed the tranny shifts fine into all gears and doesnt seem to "miss" the random pin. Any ideas/answers??
