I purchased my 2.2 LS (5 speed) a couple months ago and up until last week it has been a peach to own and drive, but this past week my 1st and 2nd gear have gone out sequentially. I brought it to a trans repair shop, where they checked the shift linkage, but no dice. They say it is internal. Anyone else have similar issues with the f23 trans? Had it diagnosed? HELP!

 

Welcome to the site, mines an auto, but there maybe the answer in the search window, like this one

there are more

 

check your brake fluid , if it is low it may clutch cylinder leaking and got to pull the trans to fix it .. not sure what the name of that part is but check it out

 

clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder may have leaked out that would be what hurst2001 meant

 

Thanks for the replies. Turns out it's the gear forks for 1st and 2nd,
