M5OD tranny issues
So I have a 93 F-150 with the M5OD R2 5 speed in it. The truck will feel like it shifts into gear but when you let the clutch out nothing happens. And I believe 4th and 5th are okay. I can let the clutch out in those and it'll stall so those go in and catch fine.

Alright well I'll be pulling the tranny tomorrow so I'll give it a look. Ive been told that it needs rebuilt but then again the person that's telling me this isn't really the best mechanic. So I'm only taking it with a grain of salt.

Oh sweet alright well I willbe going working on it a little today so I guess I can add that in to my to do list. We just picked the truck up yesterday for 200 bucks. Engine is solid and runs damn good and the only issues are the tranny and power steering is out. I'll upload pictures later on today.

I mean I already cut half the carpet up to make room lol. It needs the interior to be redone and since I'm restoring the whole thing I said **** it. Got to the shift forks and the rear one was completely worn out and the front was still good. Ordered the replacement and waiting on that to put it in. Hopefully this solves my tranny issues and get this puppy back on the open road!

Cool hope new ones fix it. I just hit the local junkyard and grabbed two whole top plates with forks so I can just change them out. While you are in there, pop the plastic plugs out and either put in metal plugs or pop them out, rtv them and pop them back in. This will help prevent future top cover leaks.

Don't drive with your hand leaning on the shifter. That is a big NO NO. The forks are made from the softest steel made by man. If you rest your hand on the shifter it will put pressure on the fork and with only ATF as a lubricate inside it doesn't take much to wear it out(as you see).
The last M5 I had apart, 3-4 fork was paper thin. The PO apparently drove around town with his hand resting on the shifter.

So we may have hit a road block in this. I don't remember what gear It was in when I pulled the top cover to get to the shift forks. So I don't know if I'm ****ed or not now...
