so I picked the car up like this, when you try to shift into any of those 3 gears, its like going into neutral, and first is kinda hard to get and popped out once, its also makes a noise when you drive it, kinda hard to describe, anybody have any idea as to what it might be before I go drop the tranny?
 
From the symptoms you describe it sounds like the syncros are done.

thanks for the response and yeah, thats what I was thinking and hoping at least, really hope the actual gears arent the problem
 
If the transmission makes noise while driving it could be any number of things. Bearings, diff gears etc. Bearings are the most common especially on the intermediate shaft.
 
well i finally got around to dropping it and its the 3/4th gear slider, anyone know where i could get one? can only seem to find with the hub which i dont need
 
Look in the Vendor section of this website. Sheptrans can get you one I'm sure. I would look into getting an entire Trans rebuild or buying a used trans.

that would be ideal but i dont have the cash for a full rebuild or used tranny and i need the car back on the road
 
Buy the hub and slider as a set. If you select the right OEM part it will include the synchro rings

What's wrong with it anyway?
 
I would check your shift cables. If you have problems with all those gears I don't think its all in your tranny.
 
Yeah i dissasembled the tranny, and the only problem i could find besides some leaky seals was the 3/4th slider was busted and rattling around. I talked to sheptrans and they can get me a new slider for $50, before i pay though, im gonna go see if any of my local junkyards have a gst. My new question though is would replacing it also fix 2nd?

No. It would not fix 2nd. If you're qualified to fix this and it seems you are, you're beter off fixing what you have. If you're not familiar with model year differences youll have some research to do if you want another trans. Even then you have a used trans.
