So this problem has been around since I bought this car almost 4 years ago. 4th gear is a phantom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) , there's nothing there, it just revs and revs and there's no drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) . We took the gear set out several times and there's no apparent problem inside the transaxle (the gear is actually there) and I've checked the bushings and replaced the one at the transaxle (the cup-like one).

It's a 76 2.0 with the side-shift unit
