Hey guys I've been out of the DSM game for a few years now because the car has been left sitting due to the transmission locking me out of 2nd 4th and reverse. I'm finally taking the time to get to the bottom of this issue and could use some insight. The car is a 98 GSX. It also has the Jacks 2.2 HD build with Evo 3 first and 5th gears installed. Before we have everyone hopping in here stating it has to be the cables... the transmission is out of the car and I still cant manually move it into those gears. It also can't be the shift forks because they control two gears 3rd & 4th etc. The only thing I can think of that has any correlation between 2nd 4th & reverse is possibly the shift rails? I've built a few engines for these cars but never rebuilt a transmission so would really appreciate someone with more experience helping educate on me on what could cause this strange issue. Thanks!
