Manual transmission Problems 1998

[Watso]

Hi I have a 1998 Saturn SL1 manual transmision. The problem started the other day with high rev's I cleaned the TPS and it solved the problem for a bit. However today driving it I have no reverse, no 2nd gear and no 4th. I'm really hoping its not the transmission. Any suggestions on what to check. There are no leaks and the tranny fluids were just changed out. We just recently put in a new engine and the car has been driving just dandy

I'd be checking out the shifter cables. IIRC, there are two, one for 1,3 and 5 and the other 2,4, and Reverse. I could be wrong but that's where I would start looking.

thanks that was the problem. One of the cables came out of the housing that holds it in. Saved on a lot of frustration with this car. Something always seems to go wrong weekly.
