Hi Larry,
I don't remember for sure what gears I had problems with, but in the end, it
was most of them. I have an 89 TII GTC. There's a nut on one of the cable
brackets that came loose on me. (on the back of the tranny) All I remember is,
it screwed from the back-forward. Once this was tight, it shifted fine. This
is also a 555 tranny. I believe I had to go from up above to get at it.
.(Removing all the hoses and cleaner) This was about 6 years ago, so I don't
remember for sure. All I know is once I found the loose nut, I was mad about
not seeing it earlier. At the same time, I found a loose intercooler hose and
found the turbo I thought was going bad was good all along. Then there was
the cooling fan that was froze up. The head gasket was good all along. LOL.
In less than 1 1/2 hours, I fixed 3 (what I thought were) "Major" problems.
To think this car sat for about 2 years because I thought there was lots of
time consuming repairs ahead. (I wonder if I let the GLH!
S sit t
he last 3 months for nothing. Hmmmm)
Good luck
