@ transmission help

Hello there:

We got my son's car (sentra 1993, 5 speed) about 3 years ago and it has been
a very good car, unfortunately, in the last 4 days, every time my son put on

reverse, the transmission gets stuck,  somehow he can only go to 5th of
reverse, no lower gears, so what he does, he goes in reverse for about 40
feet or so and everything goes back to normal.

Any suggestions what could be? Maybe transmission oil?

Where do I check for it?

Does it sound bad?  (New transmission?)

Thank you for your replies.

No expert on whatever kind of car the Sentra is (Mazda ?) But I
bet the linkage is fouled....bent...or just completely messed up...
try adjusting the linkage...

Hello Bob:

Thank you for your reply.

Are you talking about the clucth linkage?

I forgot to mention that we experience this problem even if
the car is not turned on.(Would it make any difference for the
diagnosis?)
