I have a 93 top loaded trans with no thied gear all other gears are fine but
third is an open hole is it possible that I may hve lost a pin holding a
fork or sonething like that?? One day I shifted into third and nothing was
there! I dont think its the gears as there was no warning no grinding no
metal in the sump!
any help would be great.
thanks
Phil

Hope this helps... M-5 has (I Think thats what you have) Aluminum Shift
forks, they are easy (relativly Speaking) to change. You will have to
remove the Tranny as I do not beleave you will be able to get the upper
portion of the Tranny to fit through the Shifter hole. the shift assembly
& forks lift out as one unit. You will see the fork for Third will
probably be worn through. If I recall it uses 2 roll pins to hold the
assembly snug.
