I was also told by another person it may be a one of the shift forks like i said I have no clue how a manual transmission works this truck has not been used as a front line engine in about 10 years we drove it periodically to keep it running if it is a shift fork how would I find where it is at and how would I find the shifter rod Thank you all for your help so far and thanks in advance

Paul if the case is that the rod is broken do you know where we could get a new one or how to fix the current one

Gear jam'n fool I am not sure what type of transmission it has it doesn't have cab tilt to look and the owners manual was lost when we moved stations in the early 2000's it is a manual 4 or 5 speed transmission the last time it was driven the shifter slipped and we were unable to get it into any gear besides neutral we had to drag it back to the station with our brush truck I don't really know how a manual transmission works to be honest nor does anyone at the department we are trying to fix it to register it as a antique/classic apparatus for parades and special events below is the information listed on the registration #CF685F10-1768

where you say just paint silver I was wondering what type of prep work is needed there is a lot of surface rust non through the paint would you recommend stripping the original paint off or cleaning and painting over it

my department owns a mack CF and we are having troubles with it, it is unable to shift into any gear and we can't figure out why we are also wondering if anyone knows how to polish or shine steel Dimond plate thanks in advance!
