I was driving down the road and shifted from 1st to 2nd and lost all of my bottom gears. It felt as if I pushed the back with my shifter if that makes sense? Now, all of the bottom gears are gone 2nd, 4th and reverse. Do you think it is a clutch problem? My clutch is low, but I don't have any trouble getting into first, third or 5th? Any thoughts?

Is your clutch pedal hard going all the way down or does it drop down a little before it get's hard?Did your inside stick get loose all of a sudden?Did you make sure your cable end's are attached to the transmission and to the bottom of the shifter?Let me know.

Yes, I guess it stays hard. It does not vary in the softness whether ingaged or not. It stays the same and does not drop down. Yes the inside stick gets very loose. It moves around as if it's free with no restrictions. No, I need to look at the cable ends.

Look under the inside shifter boot and see if the cable came off the shifter if it did they sell a repair kit. Let me know.
