Clutch cable or transmission problems?
 

I was going through the gears earlier today shifting at 4,000 rpm's. As I came out of fourth, fifth didn't exist...period. I pulled the car over and checked it out. The shifter wouldnt go over at all to even start into fifth or reverse. With the key off and a little playing, it will sometimes go into fifth and reverse, and sometimes it won't. But it will not go into either of those two when the car is started. Some guys told me that the clutch cable is probably stretched. Some others have told me the transmission is out. What do you guys think? What can I do?

I have not had the chance to take a look at the car yet. I haven't worked on a 'Stang trans before. How much will it cost, what will I need, and how hard is this to fix?

Download the manual from Tremec

The file is 70 ish pages, so it will take some time to download.

Removing the tailshaft and Cover/forks is easy enough, and the Reverse / 5th fork/rod is part of the same mechanisim, so something is probably wrong there. That whole mechanism is sorta seperate from all the gears etc so it can be fixed with normal tools
