Shift forks?
What did you take apart?

OK I just went out there and looked to try and better describe what he's talking about, and the fork things he needs to know about are attached to the top of the transmission. It has a removable top, and when you remove it, they're attached to the top pointind gown into the transmission. Also, there are some metal rings on the transmission itself around the gears. He noticed that they move up and down (back and forth) and would like to know if that's ok. Lastly, he can take the shaft and turn it, and he hears a clicking noise. He's not sure that is supposed to be like that. He's getting really discouraged because we are about to run out of money, and he has no way to make any more because his truck's broken! PLEASE HELP!!!

Wow. Why did he take the shift tower off the top of the transmission? Which transmission do you have?

He has a 5 speed but cannot remember what model. It's aluminum bell housing and iron transmission. The cover comes off on top. He was just checking to make sure there was no metal shards in the casing. He's taken it off several times before and had no problems putting it back on, so that's why he's confused as to what's going on this time.

You can see the three shift fork on the bottom of the cover.
Each fork slides over a sleeve on the mainshaft. You can see the three sleeves in the pic below. Each fork has to be in the groove of each sleeve, they will have to be lined up as you lower the cover onto the top of the transmission. The sleeves are supposed to move back and forth.

That's awesome that you can post pics like that to help us! Thank you so much! He looked at them, and I guess I misunderstood what he wanted to know. (Or he worded it wrong to me, IDK) He said it feels like the gears are jammed up. He has reverse, but the others wont go into gear. He said it reminded him of the way his old truck used to behave...the old truck we used to have had a 3 on the tree...the linkages used to get jammed, and he'd have to get out, pop the hood, and unjam them by hand. Now, he just used the little piece inside the transmission to try to shift the gears indide while he was looking at them. It wasn't installed. He HAD it installed and tried to shift and they still wouldn't shift so he's had to take it back out.

He might have two gears engaged at the same time.
Make sure the sleeves are not engaged into any gear. Each should be in the middle. You'll know the sleeves aren't engaged into any gear because when you turn the input shaft the output shaft doesn't turn along with the input. Then line up your forks and lower the cover. That will make the transmission so it is in neutral. Then install your shifter.
