    okay, i had loosened the adjusting nut on the shift rod and ofcourse the shifter fell out of sink with the gears. 20mins of fiddling and i got it back in, or so i thought.

    i can get all the gears, but 1st can only be selected after selecting reverse (i can physically put it into 1st but nothing engages). now i relize i can drain the oil and remove the pan, but i would like to avoid that if possible. can it be re-adjusted with out dropping the pan or am i SOL? and if it isn't related to the adjustment, WTH? it's the oddest thing i've ever come accross.

    Thank God! I thought this was going to be a cross-gender thread.

    most likely the shift forks came loose and were re-adjusted. can't comment on the cost of doing that.
    in my case it was simply not lined up right, no need to drop the pan.
