My tranny does not have gears 3 and 4 anymore. Do you know what is wrong?

More importantly, I bought another used 5spd tranny from the junkyard for my car but I don't know the condition of it. Is there a way to check the condition of this tranny? Can I just bring it to a shop to have it checked?

Hi thao0124,

Thank you for the donation.

When 3rd and 4th goes out, the most likely fault would be with the 3-4 shift fork or synchroniser hub.

The transmission can be tested for shifting and nothing else. Whether the internal components of a trans is good or not cannot be tested witout a visual inspaction or test driving on vehicle.
