M35 5th Gear Shifting Issues

[STRAYCAT004]

i have a m35, the guy i bought it off of had the deuce stuck in 5th gear while driving. he elected to force it out of 5th gear. now when driving and you put it into 5th gear it pops back out. been told that it is either a bent fork or a snapped pin or keeper. it works fine in all other gears and shifts fine. any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Changed the title to something that is more meaningful and will help with searches.

Just an FYI. On the site we take the HELP in the title as your life is in danger or you are stuck on the side of the road. Please refrain from using that term unless you really need it.

Pull the floor pan and the top of the transmission off and see what you got , it's a guessing game till you open it up .

Information should be in these ;

When you pull the top cover you should be able to see the problem. Whatever it is will be obvious. It will be fixable without removing the trans from the truck.
