Hi my name is Victor. I been having issues with my ford for a while now but really don't have the money to pay a mechanic to fix it. When I shift gears it will only let me put it in first, third or fifth gear and some time reverse. From time to time it works fine but it will do it again and stay that way for no months. Can u please help me out and hive me a idea what it might be?
