The Getrag F23 Tutorial - By Emc209i (Page 28/28) ignorant prodigy JUN 09, 06:00 PM hey fella's, been trying to find that service video online and it seems some things dont live forever on the internet. few years back I bought a junkyard transmission. mistakes were made and I took their word that it worked good. when I did install it, I had a hell of a time getting the shifter mechanism back into the housing. I stuck my finger down there and moved a bunch of stuff around, and eventually got it to sit inside. my ignorant question is: do you think it would it be possible to potentially install that shifter mechanism in such a way where I don't have 1st or 2nd gear (intermediate shaft I presume?) I have reverse, I have 3rd.. didnt try 4th or 5th. not really looking forward to swapping in a new transmission, I'm in denial but hoping you guys will cheer me up and say it is possible.
