The rod that goes to the box is loose or not inline how it should be, so when your moving gears in the car its not quite going in at the box right, could be engine mount broken or just really loose or at the selector end loose

Sorry but this is far too complex a fault to be able to solve remotely. There's the added complication that nobody on FixYa has any way of knowing whether the transmission rebuild was done properly, or was just a cheap replacement of a few obvious broken/worn parts and a fresh coat of paint. There is no such thing as a cheap rebuild, so if that's what you had then that's what you got. A good rebuild takes time and money and that's why a good rebuild usually comes with a warranty which gives the same or similar protection to a brand new Honda original. By contrast, cheap rebuilds are usually only good enough to enable you to sell a faulty car to the next unsuspecting owner.

If you had a proper tranny rebuild then contact the company which did the work as your fault might still be under warranty.

If you're lucky, it's just the shifter linkages which have disconnected or have broken/worn bushings but you'll only find out by getting the car to a garage for proper diagnosis.

Testimonial: "Thank you, the tranny had a year warranty still when i bought car from original owner. It was a reputable shop"

Buick gear shifter moves freely and wont shift gears

you can shift it at transmission by hand to neutral or park and have someone inside start the car and you manually put in gear under hood and drive it to shop or garage, wherever

Not sure if shifter is installed properly

Ok, I guess its going to be a not too obvious solution then. All we have to do is find it...
1.What type of gear shifter is in your truck. Column or tower
2. Is the tail shaft turning when you try to move the vehicle
3. Does the vehicle try to move at all
4. Is there any noise from the gearbox or clutch area
5. Are you certain the clutch kit was the right one
6. Did you try the clutch plate on the gearbox input shaft spline
7. Is the release bearing clear of the pressure plate fingers.
8. Does the release bearing carrier slide freely on the retainer on the front of the bearbox, and did you apply lubricant here.

1993 nissan maxima 3.0 standard transmision will not shift into first or second gear. it goes into all other gears fine and the clutch is working good. i disconected the shifter from the linkage and it...

try pushing the gear selector button in and pulling the gear selector into 1st gear position, if it doesnt catch, leave it aligned with the "1" on the panel, let go of the button, then once the gear selector (shifter) is staionary int he 1 position pull back on it slightly without pusing in the button..

Hit the gas and see if it catches.. it is likely, you have a worn catch for the two gears that aren't grabbing.. if you hit speed bump or pot hole you may have to pull back on it genly while driving to get the gear back...

Let me know if this works
