Hmm, in that case Larry, I can only assume there is an assembly problem in the tailhousing - if reverse and 5th were fine before, then the only thing that has changed is the shifting linkage inside the tailhousing from the S10. Do you know if the tailhousing came off a working trans? If yes, then it's got to be an assembly problem (the mating of it with your trans) or if unsure, then it could actually be a defective part even if you assembled it correctly. Sorry, but we're now getting into the innards of the T5 and that's where I start to walk around in a dark room feeling for the walls... I do have a T5 assembly manual in .pdf format I can send you if you like. PM me with your email and I'll send it. (there was a link in this thread, but I think it has gone dead).
