trans wont shift into 3rd or 4th :(

[odeaten]

hey guys first things first im pretty new, and actualy my car isent a AE-86 (unfortunately) its an AE-92 fwd, but i cant find any forums for my car, and i fugure we share the same motor, so why not ask you guys for help.

i just got my car running again (with your guyses help) it had been sitting for a lil while maybe a month or so. when i got it to run it was doing fine, shifting perfectly and everything was ok. but out of nowhere with out any warning signs, as im driving along my car just stops shifting into 3rd and 4th gear. it was just fine befor, never slipped or ANYTHING

it will "click" into 3rd but as soon as i pop the clutch it shoots out of gear and if i try to force it in, it just makes a horrable grinding sound. and it wont even go into 4th at all, its like 4th isent there anymore. 1st 2nd 5th and reverse work fine.

I checked the oil, all good and brand new.

HELP! thank you

when was the last time it had a trans service?

Before you pull the box out, check the linkage from the gearlever to the box. Something may have moved slightly.

I'm not familiar with the AE92 gearbox setup, but I had a similar problem on the wife's Fiesta, a few years ago.

It just needed a slight adjustment at the gearbox end, and all was well again.

i've never had it "serviced" but i have changed the trans fluid. i did that about a month ago.

i'll take a look at the linkage.

What oil did you use?

i checked the linkage and it aint the problem.
