you didn't mention if it only goes into first, won't shift to second, and has no reverse, if that's the case, the problem i had was what they call a stovepipe in the transmission,it links up second gear plates with the reverse drum, mine had sheared teeth on 1 end, but sadly, if that's the case, it means to take out tranny to repair
