No Gears

have a 1989 f150 351 5 speed with only 4th gear the rest do nothing. you can feel them but nothing happens. was wondering if anyone has ever had one apart. and if so is it fixable or just put another one in .

thanx
Rick

I am not sure about 5 speeds but the old 4 speeds aren't hard to fix, the hard part is getting them out if you don't have the right equipment.

i'd start by calling wreckers and looking for one to swap in first. could be cheaper and easier.

It may pay to find out what`s wrong with your`s first Rick, chances are it will be expensive to repair.

Is it a Warner or a New Process transmission?

EZ way to tell, without gettin' down and crawlin' under.

How the shift lever is retained into the shift tower is the key.

The cap that retains Warner shift levers screws off/on.

The cap that retains New Process shift levers is held to the tower by two pins...so it twists off/on by a 1/4 turn. Push down..then twist! Because ppl don't know this, this cap usually is buggered. B8T-7220-D = still available from Ford.

In this particular case, because of the application ('89 F150)...the transmission likely is the Toyo Kogyo (Mazda) 5 speed overdrive.

Myself I would call a few wreckers. Maybe a guy could research and swap a zf in there with not too many problems.
