hey guys i got a question..... i got an 86 stang and the lady that i got it from said that it has a new transmission but when i got it back from the shop today and they told me that first and second gear dont work so i think that it is a linkage problem. The questions is how would i go about checking that and/ or fixing it ?

Auto or m,anual and what do you mean it isn't working? Did you know this when you bought the car? Why was it in the shop?

its a manual and when i put into first or second it doesnt go anywhere lol
from third gear on it is ok

oh yeah it was in the shop cause it didnt start because the lady hadnt run it in a while so the mechanic got it running then when he went to take it out today the first two gears didnt work

Sounds like a tranny over haul to me!!

Well if she just ahd it rebuilt, I would contact her and ask if there is any warranty on it.
