I have a 93 dakota sport, Its has the v6 with the 5 speed gear box,no four wheel drive. The problem I am having is ,, all of the sudden i could not get it to go into third or fourth gear at all. It goes into first second and fifth and reverse no problem. I happened out of the blue while i was driving through town. The truck is a great truck , I have got over 280,000 miles out of this truck without any major engine repair or tranny repair, (just a clutch a couple years ago). I Have been driving it without those gears and it doesnt make any strange noises. Anyone out there with any idea of what could be wrong inside the gearbox please let me know what to look for. Either linkage or internal . I am very mechanically inclined, I just need to know what parts could have failed leaving me in this situation. Any help from you guys will be greatly appreciated! Oh and the gear oil is up to snuff. I have changed that religiously every 50,000 miles.
