umm, not real firmialer with fords yet, but i just bought an 89 trunk style 5.0, didnt pay much for it, needed a bit of work, a problem i havent had a chance to look into yet is that my first gear is goofy, It will go into the gear, it will move the car in gear, grabs well on the teeth (or so it feels) But it will pop out quiet easily, if you hold it in gear, it will work though, can anybo give me logical ideas as to what this might be, im dont know much about these , im just going to assume that this is a t 5 tranny, (5 speed manual)

Trunk style?

Its your syncronizers............more than likely. You will have to take that in since you are not quite sure what transmission you have....sorry.

Sycnhros are going bad I'd guess...

thats quite alright man, i knew it was one of three things, the shifter was wore out, the synchros were bad, or the slider was f ed , i am going to just take it apart my self, but im just hoping i dont have to replace a gear and slider,, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ haha,
How do i figure out what my car has for parts, like how do i kow if its a t5, do i have to go looking for numbers........ or would someone just know
