took a look underneath last night
didn't have a lot of time to get a full idea what is going on

put the rear of the car up on jack stand and rocked the wheels back and forth a little and had the engine turn them in the air OK, with out any grinding sounds.

but after messing around a little was able to get it to stay in first or reverse up and down the driveway a couple of times, then it slipped out of gear and wouldn't keep catch anymore. other forward gears don't engage either

haven't had a chance to check linkage yet

is this maybe a linkage issue? like something with a 1st/rev repair that i have read about in the tech section, or is this a full tranny removal to replace the clutch?

wont have the time to really get into this for a few weeks, business trip out of town. but want to know what i am in for when i get back. going to get to read repair manuals on the plane. wee.
