My 1991 Toyota Tercel will not shift into any gears except reverse. The gear shift will not move into any of the forward gears. Could it be the linkage?

There are a number of possible issues. I don't know, but I doubt don't know of any toyotas that use linkages. They usually use hydrolic fluid via a master and slave cylinder. Might be low on fluid? It is also possible that the "shift fork" has bent. that is what is inside the transmission that move the gears when you move the shifter. If it were bent it may not push the right gears to the right places. It really isn't likely that the clutch is worn out and causing this. There are also things called syncros which usually dont wear out except under very heavy use, but they keep all the gears allignes so they will mesh when you shift. They could have gone bad, but it's unlikely.

Manual Transmission Linkage
2016-10-17 03:45:15 · answer #2 · answered by kaba 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Some people pick up driving a manual quickly and for others it takes time. I prefer automatics over manuals when it comes to an everyday car. If it's a car you plan to keep for a while I'm sure your driving will change and you may end up being in more traffic or having more city driving and that's when a manual transmission becomes a real pain. If it's a second car that you drive occasionally I don't mind a manual transmission, but for everyday cars it's nice to have an automatic. It's really a decision that's up to you. Some people love manual transmissions, but I've loved the new SUV that I got that's an automatic. It was nice to get rid of the manual car. I also get better gas mileage in my automatic SUV (Nissan Rouge) than my old car (Hyundai Elantra) that was a manual.

The shift pin on the end of the shifter has broken most likely or the ball it floats on is worn out. Its common with older manual transmissions and is a pretty easy DIY fix. Pull up the shift boot and remove the shift lever and replace old worn out parts with new ones. Worst case the shift linkage needs replaced.

Number of reasons why that could have happened.
To answer the first part of your Q, the linkages are the mechanical elements that convert your playing with the stick into movements within the gearbox. Even if one of the links is broken your gearbox might just call it quits.
It is unlikely though that anything would have happened to the links. They take comparitively very little stress. What might have happened is that one of gears has lost a part of its teeth, and the metal may have embedded itself into one or both of the rails inside stopping them from sliding and 'moving into gear'.
You should get professional help. It would be a shame if you couldnt get spares though

more than likely your transmission is shot. it might be the linkage but not likely

Yes it could be linkage or it could just be your friction plates. If you have a friend who know his stuff ask him. If not take it to a local shop. If you take it to a dealership you will be raped on your costs.
