Erik, Difficulty shifting into 1st or 2nd gear could be the result of a bent rollpin. There are several of these pins in the shifter linkage. Item 103219, located at 4/1/4 fig. 16 in the parts manual, is most commonly responsible for this problem. The repair cost for your transmission leak repair depends on the source of the leak. Where is the leak?.
