If the car worked properly before( I assume it did ) then any problem that has occured since the garage worked on the vehicle HAS to rectfied by the garage NO IF'S AND NO BUT'S.... if they dont then seek professional legal advice,,, it just seems a bit wierd that the problems are located in the very area in which the garage were working. MMMMmmmmmmm?????????
This information is from my genuine service manual. I hope it is of help. Non-turbo Turbo Sedan Wagon Type 5-forward speeds with synchromesh and 1-reverse Transmission gear ratio 1st 3.454 3.454 2nd 2.062 1.947 3rd 1.448 1.366 4th 1.088 0.972 5th 0.780 0.738 Reverse 3.333 Front reduction gear Final Type of gear Hypoid Gear ratio 4.111 3.900 Rear reduction gear Transfer Type of gear Helical Gear ratio 1.000 1.100 Final Type of gear Hypoid Gear ratio 4.111 3.900 3.545 Front differential Type and number of gear Straight bevel gear (Bevel pinion: 2, Bevel gear: 2) Center differential Type and number of gear Straight bevel gear (Bevel pinion: 2, Bevel gear: 2 and viscous coupling) Transmission gear oil GL-5 Transmission gear oil capacity 3.5 2 (3.7 US qt, 3.1 Imp qt)
It could be the clutch cable needing adjustment although this would be the ideal scenario! More likely that the gearbox is worn to excess (a polite way of saying it is shot!). I'm afraid to say I would favour the latter!!!! I could be wrong though but I have seen this before and I feel your pain!!!!!
there might be more than one issue here. its common for the early auto transmissions to not have the extra shims added to the center differential. This causes binding for the front axles and can damage a few parts. There was a recall for this many years ago. The other possibility is the valve body is manufunctioning and not fully engaging the gear your selecting. The fix is to get the valve body overhauled/rebuilt or replaced
