Shift Lever to transmission...broke?

Help,
I have a '92 Ranger. The clutch went out. While the transmission was out of the truck, I tried shifting the transmission to make sure it was in neutral. It was in neutral but it would not catch a gear. I've now put the truck back together and I still have the same problem. I have a suspension that the shift levers nut was removed and if that has a bearing on the lever not catching inside the transmission? Thanks for your help....anyone want to buy a '92 Ranger:zx11pisse

Was the tranny in neutral when you removed the gearshift? If not, then the shift forks are out of alignment.

Check out www.mechanicmatt.com - he has info on how to align the forks with the shifter out of the tranny (basically it puts it back in neutral so you can reinstall the lever). Good luck!

This was a long forgotten about page, hehe:
