My 88 mustang convertible just decided it did not like me putting it in 1st gear. No weird noises it just won't go into 1st gear. I can however put it into 2nd, 3rd, 4th 5th gears. Is it a linkage problem or a transmission problem? Thanks
Daniel

Hello danrocks

It might be a linkage problem.
The problem must be related to a part or system unique to the first gear. This could also result from a linkage problem, such as a damaged shift mechanism, interference between the shift handle and the console or floor cutout, or restricted travel of the shift linkage and /or rails due to misalignment.
This problem might also be cause by damage to the selected gear or the synchronizer for that gear.
