John,
Try some easy stuff 1st
Have you checked the fluid? level, quality (does it stink)
How about the shift linkage?
What year SD do you have? (to know which tranny)
When my tranny went out, it had 1st and 2nd, yet no 3rd or 4th, and also
noticed that there was metal flakes in the fluid when drained. I needed
to replace it with a good used one.
Hopefully, your tranny doesn't need anything more then a B-2 piston. Do
a search on the B-2 piston, and you should get a list of tranny symptoms.
