Granny gear is First in a 4 speed tranny-- and is located by pulling lever to the left and then forward ( where you would find first gear on a 3 speed tranny).Reverse is the tricky one to find-- it should be all the way to the right (it is spring loaded and needs a strong push)then either toward the seat or toward the dash (sorry I don't remember which way but you will feel it move into gear).

grandpaglenn, when you say (where you would find first gear on a 3 speed) didn't you mean to say where you would find first on a 5speed? First gear on a 3 speed is left and back to the seat..isn't it?

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
