On my 99 GSX, I lost 3rd, and 4th gear, and it seems like a clinking sound at the rear of the car when I place it in reverse, and back up. I was driving about 80mph, just cruisisng. It sounded like I hit the rev limiter, because the car came out of gear, and since my foot was on the accelerator the revs went up. I shifted to neutral, slowed down, and noticed from that point the car would only shift to 1st, 2nd, and 5th gear. The car starts normal, and I can drive it, but of course jumping from 2nd gear to 5th gear makes in town driving difficult. Can anyone tell me what might be the problem. I checked the shift linkage cables at the shifter, and at the transmission. They are connected, and they seem to be okay. Of course, I can not see inside the length of the cables to tell if there is a break or other problem. There are no other visible problems, oil leak, etc. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.....Eclipin.
