could be a bent shift fork but the odds are slim. could b time for a new trans, mine was doing this right b4 it blew. when was the last time u changed your trans fluid?

u have any aftermarket parts (ie intake)? i remember a member on here a while back didnt tighten his stuff enough and it basically fell apart on/in to his linkage and blocked 2nd and 4th or 1st, 3rd or 5th. its worth a look, easy to see. if its not that, then it does sound like bent fork or linkage...

Good call with this. I had my stereo power wire disconnected for a while and it fell down just right to block the linkage from going into gear.

Bent shift fork most likely...
