Ok, try giving us a bit more info please, for instance is it an auto or a
manual?

If a manual, then I'd suggest something has gone on the mainshaft as the
drive is via the layshaft in 1,2,3 and 5. Possibly the 4th gear synchro
teeth? Dunno about reverse though, it's a while since I had one in bits.
Drain the oil and see what comes out......!

If auto, could be valve block, 3-4 shift valve, reverse valve, all sorts
really.

Either way, it's going to be a box strip to fix, or a recon box.
