If you set the shift lever to "L" Position, you will see the number of Highest Gear that the Transmission can shift on you Cluster panel under the Speedometer, where is P R N D L, you will see L is highlighted and right of it you will see 3 ( L3 ), this mean that you gearbox will shift up to 3rd gear, and will not shift to 4th, with the buttons on lever you can select the highest gear, also will you shift to L, you can stop the can with engine, and will you go downhill and select a right gear, you can hold the speed without touching the brake too much and not make to car to accelerate too fast.
Example for doing the the stop with engine: run the car for about a 50-60km/h, shift you lever to L, its automatically shift to L3, and turn it down, to L2, you will notice a light car slowing, press down the MINUS ( - ) key, to shift to L1 ( 1st gear only ) you will notice that car is slowing very good.

Check the connection between the cable and the shift bracket attached to the transmission. You need to look underneath the truck to find it. The bolt rusts off, and the cable becomes diconnected from the transmission.

Check to see if stop lights are working. Shift interlock and stop lights are on (perhaps blown fuse) the same circuit. If stop lights are not working, try turning the key to the 1st position (unlock) and try to shift to neutral to start car and then you can move shift lever.
