    I have a 1989 Toyota truck with the 22r engine in it. My question is, is it supposed to have a 4 speed manual transmission or a 5 speed? Right now i only have four gears and it does not go in reverse and doesnt like going into first when i stop.

    Best way to check is if you look in the door jam the id tag will have your trans code. Tell what it reads and we can tell you.

    Yea u can swap a five speed in popular thing to do on these trucks believe the w56 is what most go for

    And your grinding maybe do to a worn gears you could try a new clutch and throw out bearing but possible rebuild it's not to expensive considering modern trans rebuilds
