Default 91 LX 5.0 T5 Issues

i have a 5.0 LX and it has a T5. I have a issue with it not shifting into forward gears. It does have reverse. It has a Pro 5.0 shifter and someone has told me that it maybe a shifter issue. It started by looseing 1st then 3rd then 5th then 2nd and finally 4th leaving reverse alone. What could be going on here. I am researching this for my Brother cause he is home trying to fix this while im in Iraq. Please advise on what to look for or even maybe a good transmission to replace it with. i have 1500 to spend on the trans.

first check the cable and make sure it is adjusted properly/ moving the fork arm down on the tranny.

It started with looseing 1st gear then over the next couple weeks i started to loose the other forward gears. I still have reverse. The shifter lever wont move into any forward gear at all. I cant even force it into gear.
