Here goes: Pulling away from a stop in 1st year, hear a clunk and now I have no gears 1-4. I can put the gearshift into each position as usual, but when I release the clutch, nothing happens. Reverse and 5th gear work fine. Any ideas?

 

shift linkage maybe? i doubt you blew 1-4 maybe syncros

 

how do you know 5th works? do you mean the car will kill when in fifth and none of the other gears?

 

If I put the car in 5th, it will start to move if I ride the clutch. The other forward gears, there's nothing.

 

Got to be linkage. 1st and reverse are the same gear.
