    shifting issue missing 5 than 4 went

    Could use some help with this, 85 YTM 225 DRN has been a blast over the years, when I got it thought is was a 4 speed, ran great for 3 years, last trip out lost 4th gear. After some reading found out it's a 5speed.

    So now it's time to figure out why I'm down 4th & 5th gears. I've got the Clymers manual and shows break down, but not my listed problem. I'm mechanical but never tackled a trans before

    Please help me get my gears back. Where to start.
    Thanks
