I tried driving the other day and I could barely put it into 1st or 2nd gear. It's like I was locked out of the gears. Also when I put it into reverse I have to fight to get it out. Any suggestions before I source a new tranny?

Same thing happened to me when my pilot bearing went out...eventually I couldn't put it into 1st at all. May not be it, but just throwing it out there.

Check your clutch line. Something similar happened to me, turned out I blew my clutch line.

Pilot bearing is like 30 bucks.....but you have to pull the tranny to get to it....that's the fun part.....if you you have a hoist and air tools....you can do it...take your time and shouldnt take but a day to pull it teplace it and maybe get back in
