Just purchased a 2001 F250, and have no 3rd or 4th gear. It shifts perfectly through R-L-1-2-absolutely nothing in 3 & 4-then have to do a little hunting for OD, but nothing real serious. With the truck idling, clutch engaged, and stopped, I can move the lever into 3rd & 4th, just as easily as I can move it side to side in neutral. While moving same thing. Clutch engaged can go from 3rd-4th, just like in neutral. Does not grind, make any noise, no howling, or anything out of the ordinary.
Talked to one shop, and they suggested that a pin could have sheared on a shift fork? Seems plausible to me, as the transmission seems perfectly fine in every other way. Any ideas? I picked this truck up for $1250 so not wanting to drop a huge chunk on it. If it is a sheared pin, can it be fixed without pulling the tranny?
Thanks!
