My tranny won't go in reverse and it takes alot of throttle before it'll move. It moves forward only, even in Park. I adjust the shift linkage and still does it?
 
The shifter linkage only effects the softness or firmness of the shifter. I believe Reverse is usually the first to go when you lose your front clutch pack. But, before worrying about a rebuild, first pull codes, and make sure your TCU is properly functioning.

You are in limp mode because your front clutch pack is probably shot. I had the same thing happen to me... When the steel/clutch pack clearance is gone, the tranny will go into it's internal limp mode and you will only have 3rd gear... Time for a rebuild...
 
Nope!!!....Time for a swap....LOL
I have an LSD M/T ready to go, so.....I'm swappin'
Anyone wanna buy a A/T...REALLY CHEAP!!!!
