so 2 problems
first my suspension is messed up and even though i have no aftermarket camber kits my camber is super bad and i blow through tires in a matter of like 250 miles
second i cant shift into 5th or reverse, it started on friday they were kinda rough and to get it into 5th i had to jam it in there and couldnt give it any gas until i put it in and let the clutch out completely, and sometimes it would even reject it completely, and reverse was the exact same...
thank you ahead of time for any help...

If anything is going to kill tires that quick, it's going to be really bad toe. It doesn't look like you have a ton of camber from your pictures, so I'd stop by an alignment shop. For your transmission, I'd just pick up a decent KA transmission for cheap and swap the bell housings.

check your transmission fluid and while changing it stick your finger and fish out any busted GEAR RINGS that are laying at the bottom of your trans pan. it happens and alot of people don't know they busted a gear. if that doesn't help i'd quickly move to getting a KA TRANS and doing that swap theconverted told you about

It's possible that the shift fork is bent or broken, but that part alone is almost $70. A replacement transmission can be had for $200 or less, and there's no hassle of doing internal transmission work.
