If everything shifts fine as far as when its driving then youll have to check you shifting linkage from the dash to the tranny

Yeah i think its just the linkage, get someone to shift the truck wile you look under neath, if you see that cable moves the lever on the tranny every time the shifter move into a different slot then the problem might be internal, but if it dosnt move then it could be the shifter having problems, so just give the linkage a check
