(4spd OD) drove about a half hour out then in second gear I couldn't shift into 3rd tried 4th to no avail went about 2 miles in 2nd. stopped at mom's 5 minutes than I checked I could shift (cold) into each gear. about anouther 10 minutes from cold I had some resistances shifting cold but then no problems working through the gears 5 or 6 times. Coming home was the tricky part. Over the highway up over two highways over the mountains. So trying not to downshift before an up climb and down shifting before an upclimb. Even getting ble to shift into 4th onto HW then I had to slowly aaccelerate from 35mph in 4th gear over 2 miles. This is what I had to do to insure I might climb over a rate that I might have used a 1/4 tank to climb the mountain without/od but descending with OD. I climbed up over another small mountain and down in 3rd gear. Over all shifting problems seems while hot not cold.
