M5OD Tranny help needed
 

I have lost 1st and 2nd gear in my f-150. It is the Mazda M5OD tranny. I pulled the tranny and took the top cover off. All appears to be well inside, but I am not a tranny expert by any means. I engaged all the syncro's and turned the input shaft each time. Everything seemed to turn as it should. I removed the shifter from the housing, on the top cover on the tranny, and inside where the shift lever seats to control the shift forks, the middle seat for the 3-4 shift fork was off center from the 1-2 and 5-R. If this was causing the problem with 1&2 wouldn't this also cause a problem with 5&R? The seats for 1&2 and 5&R were lined up with each other. All suggestions will be helpful. I have to fix it soon, my stang is on the fritz!:confused:

I have found the gears. It was my shift fork. I replaced the shift fork, the plastic boot that the shift lever sits in, and the rubber boot on the plate holding in the shift lever, and now it works fine.

EXCELLENT! Thanks for posting an update!

Take care,
