THAT CAN BE ARRANGED BUT THE LINKAGE IS CONNECTED BECAUSE THE LOWER GEARS WORK. THEIR IS A PRESSURE PROBLEM DUE TO CLUTCH FAILURE OR A PROBLEM IN THE VALVE BODY. LOW FLUID CAN CAUSE THESE PROBLEMS ALSO. ONLY A TRANNY SHOP CAN PRESSURE TEST THE TRANNY. I'M SORRY I CAN'T LOOK INSIDE YOUR TRANSMISSION OVER THE NET.
