Transmission won't shift into 1st, 4th, 5th or reverse. Would shift into all gears recently but would slip out of 2nd and 3rd. Still slips out but if held in gently, will drive truck. Clutch seems to be OK. New master cylinder, properly bled. Free-play and overtravel seem OK. No softness of firewall. Concentric slave cylinder (type that is an annulus and sits around the tranny sgaft) has solid 1/2"+ throw as viewed through acess opening in tranny case.

Q. Is there any adjustment I can make from outside the transmission or is it shot and will have to be replaced or rebuilt?
