The shifter only goes straight and back and it has no catch to it at all. What could cause this?

Hi,

The first thing I would check is the linkage at the transmission to see if things are still attached.

I attached a few pics below. Check these areas for damage, something disconnected, or a broken cable. When checking at the transmission, have a helper shift through the gears to see what is happening.

Pic 1 below is for a 5-speed transmission. Pic 2 is for a 6-speed transmission.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions

Take care and God Bless,

Joe

It was the pin that holds the linkage to the shifter! Thank you so very much!
