two gears downwards or something, but I could only get it into what
I<BR>thought was first or second by going where second usually was. I
couldn't<BR>find reverse when I needed to leave a parking lot and had to get
two people<BR>to help push me out of my spot with the clutch in.<BR><BR>Is
this the shift plate issue, or something worse? Other than

<DIV>The first place I'd look at is the shift coupler. There may or may not be
a cover under the car (center of the pans, between the end of the pan and the
front subframe mount). I'd look to see if the set screw (trans side) is still
in place, and tight. Then I'd look at the front side of the coupler, along
with the pads and thru screw in the coupler.
