T5 update :

Got the F1 back from the Trans shop today. Last Sunday when shifting from 4th to 5th.. it stayed in 4th, but the shifter arm was moving around like a pretzel. Couldn't find any more gears after that.

So, the folks at the shop dropped the trans and found 4 screws had shredded off. They had too Heli-Coil 'em. Shifting really nice now.

Thanks to all who answered my SOS on this issue.

Re: T5 update :

Were the four screws the ones that hold the shifter to the transmission?

Re: T5 update :

yep. It's just a farmers truck & I don't bang gears, so being 30 plus years old maybe the screws gave up the ghost.
