We put a rebuilt G52 upgraded to G54 tranny into my wifes 84 pickup 2 years ago. She didn't like the stiff pressure plate and grabby clutch in stop and go traffic so it has sat in the driveway most of the past 2 years.

I would be supprised if the tranny has 2,000 miles on it.

It worked perfectly when I last drove it a couple months ago.

My Son took it for a drive the other day and said it wouldn't go into 5th gear <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

It shifts into every gear just fine but when you let the clutch out in 5th, it acts like it is in neutral. If you apply pressure to the shifter and let the clutch out, it grinds <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

What happend? If he had thrashed it (he says he didn't) I could understand a problem with 1st or 2nd, but 5th gear with a stock 22R that has 250,000 miles?
