From the above description I'd say the pin for the relay lever for
1st and 2nd gear has sheared.   You could just open the case
and replace the lever but since this is a used transaxle with over
100K on it I'd say its rebuild time.  With this many years and miles
there *will* be worn parts that should be replaced.


I have a scan that shows this lever that I'll be happy to send to
anyone who asks.
