So after a headache to get my car running after an engine swap and the past 2 weeks of driving the car approx 200 miles it now shifts into 1, 3, 5 with nothing there as far as movement. The clutch is new and the car will move in 2nd and reverse but nothing in the top 3 gears (1998 5speed). After the engine swap the linkage wasnt quite right so we had to lower the linkage bracket on the transmission with a few washers so it would go into reverse.
So leading up to this issue everything worked fine except for 1st popping out of gear on take off maybe 5 times over the past 2 weeks, and today it popped out of gear (not heavy acceleration) and now it shifts into 1st 3rd and 5th gear but there's no resistance and no movement from the car. I looked at the linkage and its all still connected so my question is could this be a linkage issue either by the shifter or transmission or does this sound like a used transmission is in order
