No symptoms, just gone ????

A manual is direct connect so unless you lost a shifter linkage of some sort, that's bad. You should be able to tell if the shift lever is actually moving tranny parts or just free floating. If the gear is gone it should have made some noise or something.

Wild guess: broken shift fork.

Any other symptoms? Do you have all the forward gears?

Nope, no symptoms at all...no grinding, no clunk, nothing...forward all works just fine.

The Dodge mech. that rebuilt mine said the rev. synchro is a weak point - something about a single blocker. I'm pretty sure the first owner hit rev. a lot instead of 5th and trashed it. Craig
