I was coming home tonight from the bottle shop for a little R&R after helping my cousin change the tranmission in his truck. I got on the ramp to get on the highway and I went from 1st to 2nd just fine. Then I went to go from 2nd to 3rd and realized that it wasnt going to happen. Now the d@mn thing is stuck in 2nd gear. The shifter will only go front to back very loosely and not side to side. It didnt make and pop noise or feel any different than normal. I have no f***ing idea what it could be. I would think that it's a linkage problem but I don't know. Any suggestion would be awesome.

By the way, even if/when you find that it is a broken cable, you will still have to ask yourself why the cable broke.
I am pretty confident that you are having the same problem I did with the shift forks getting really stiff. They are hard to shift in certain gears and then when you decide to shift fast, bam the cable breaks.
In this case the shift forks need to be replaced so you don't keep on breaking cables.
Has your shifter ever been really sluggish or stiff when it was cold and you hadn't driven the car in a while?
That is also the way mine was.
You need to read the post in this forum that is pinned at the top about upgraded MTX-75 parts and shifter forks. I also wrote an explanation in that section that will help you out if this is indeed your transmission problem.
