Do you hear the motor running and any clicking of detents as you go thru the gears? If running and no clicks, check the setscrew at the motor sector to shaft. If that's OK and you hear detents, check the entire assy alignment so ensure the manual valve is fully in detent. If there is any slop finding a detent, then check the pot metal lever inside to the manual valve. Randy has had some recent experience with the loose lever problem. The small pin connecting the lever to the valve is also not above suspicion as is a plug on the detent assy falling out resulting in low or no pressures. Both have been recent issues for others.

If you don't hear the motor running then another issue entirely.
