4 speed transmission issue

having some other problems now. i thought it was just because i don't have a bed and no weight on the back end that it was just spinning on the ice and snow, but i don't think the transmission is engaging. i put it into reverse and try to back up and the tires don't spin or anything, and then i put it into 2nd and try to go forward, and same thing. it was fine a couple weeks ago, maybe someone could let me know what might be the problem, thanks so much.

If the transmission is an automatic, have you checked the fluid level?

transmission

it's a 4 speed. my friend was looking while i put it in reverse and 2nd, and the driveshaft isn't turning when i let out on the clutch, i'm thinking it's a linkage or something, but someone else said it's the driveshaft, so not really sure.

shifting

wow. i feel really stupid. i was trying the 4 wheel drive out on it yesterday. which the right front hub won't lock out, (something else to be fixed). well i left the t-case in neutral thinking when not using 4WD that you leave it in neutral so that answers my problem. i don't know what i would have done otherwise so thanks to everyone who responded. so till my next dumb question have fun with your trucks!!
