Have 91 TR with only 3rd and reverse.
Lots of usual checks done-computer, fixed some frayed wires,oil ok-no bits and pieces in it.
Mechanic here in Esperance and Magna recon. gearbox supplier in Perth not convinced gearbox itself is stuffed, but can't find problem yet. Say it sounds electrical, but acts like mechanical prob(!!??)
Gearbox was "missing" gears with (very) heavy accelleration, then grabbing them.
Sometime during longish trip, gears lost-only had 3rd and reverse.
Late in trip, lost ALL gears. Stopped car, waited 5 mins and started again-reverse. and 3rd ok again.
Has anyone any useful ideas on this?

Check the diagnostic link near the fuse box find out what fault codes are coming up. There is obviuosly some fault that is causing the computer to lock the transmission in third.
