Another Mazda 5 speed issue
94 f150 300/6 2x4 m5od
Started getting sloppy in 1st and 2nd gear and now 1st and second are gone but I still have 3,4,5th & reverse. Is this just forks or is this a rebuild or what?
Thanks in advance

I also have a 94 f150 300/6 4x4 5 speed. lost 3rd and 4th still had 1st, 2nd, 5th and reverse. Popped the top off the tranny and it was the fork. It had worn the contact area and was skipping over the gear without engaging. new fork cost about 80.00 at the ford dealer took about three hours changing the fork on the dining room table (pissed the wife off but it can be done, would probable cut at least an hour off the time just having a vice. FYI to get the rails to move past their stops to remove the fork, you have to pop it past the stop, (stop is a ball and spring detent).

Nice thanks! I figured forks but always good to have a second opinion. I rebuilt it no more than 40,000 miles ago so it's still pretty fresh and worth fixin
Thanks guys! I'll keep u posted on what I find out when I tear into it and inspect it

Where would a person find more info and diagrams about repairing these trannies?
I am picking up a 5 speed that 5th keeps falling out of gear when you push the gas pedal, and it would be great to fix this myself!
