transmission problem please help

I have a 2004 ford f350 6.0 4x4 manual transmission. I just got the truck about a month ago. I got it from and aution and was not able to drive it because there was no radiator. I just got done putting the radiator in and filling up the tranny with fulid. I tried to drive the truck and the transmission is all messed up. Some times it goes into to gear and some times it gets stuck in gear and will not come out I have to stall the truck out Sometimes it grinds and sometimes it dont . I can feel R L 1 2 and 5 when it is shifting but I can not feel 3 or 4 at all.

Sounds like a tranny rebuild to me. Grinding is not a good thing.

No, I won't. This is a manual trans. My expertise is in automatic transmissions. The only thing automatics and manuals have in common is the word "transmission."

My mistake, my old brain missed the manual tranny part. Besides cltch or slave it could also be synchros.

thats Auto trans so IDK Manual might be Diff IDK

I would think there has to be Inspection Plate no matter the Type trans


Maybe one of the Techs will be along to tell me I am Wrong to IDK

Maybe your Slave Cylinder is Bad IDK how to test it yet
