BIG Tranny Problem Help!

[siceclipse]

Hey guys,
My 1990 GSX is screwed :thumbdown . I was driving today after the first snowfall and when i went to put it into second gear there was nothing there. Just poppped right back into neutral. So after freaking out i played with the shifter a bit and now it stays in 1st, 3rd, and fifth, and sometimes 2nd and 4th. Reverse there is no way i can get it to stay. Even with the shifter all the way back holding in reverse i get nothing. I belive the previous owner got this tranny either rebuilt or replaced. The only other sidenote is that i have those metal shifter bushings. After racking my brain i feel like a synchro came off of the shift fork maybe i don't know i just need help. Any advice will be much appreciated.

Which clutch/flywheel combo are you using?

Make sure the bracket that holds the shift cables on the transmission is not loose. Thats one of the big causes of only being able to get into top (1-3-5) or bottom (2-4-r) gears.

Thank you arnie, where would i find the bracket? the same place where i installed the shifter bushings?? I heard that i may have stretched the cable or something like that. So try where the cables attach to tranny and not the cables coming into the shifter?
