So the other day while driving all of a sudden it became very smooth to shift into 2nd gear. Like sarr smooth. Then everything started to go down hill. As of now I have no reverse gear, and shifting into 2nd & 4th gear is really touchy. I can only shift into them at low RPM's, and have to hold it in gear for a few seconds while the clutch is still in. Anyone have an idea to what has happened?
 
Sounds to me like your shift cables are coming apart. Example being the the cables are fraying and giving it a spongy not so stiff into gear action going on. I would visibly check the cables at the tranny. Might also be the shift cable bracket at the tranny the bolts might be loose. I cant remember the website but there was one that described the symptoms of 24R 135 12 and 5R and each had its own symptoms. Good luck
