Your clutch is not disengaging. If it a hydrolic clutch chk. the fluid in resavor, Or slave cyl. for the clutch is bad, Or it has got air in it and needs to be bleed. This is a clutch problem, nothing wrong with trans. If its a manual clutch linkage its an ajustment thing. My best guess if its hydrolic slave cyl. went bad, or resavor is out of fluid.

Jeep runs but will not change gears

automatic? trans, mines a 6speed, and has a clutch.
my guess is yes,
my A/T will not change gears,
all gears slip? (slip , flare or?)
or wont move at all. the car?????
or is stuck in1st gear in drive.?
or wont move in reverse. why not tell full story on so complex a device. super complex it is.
wont up shift , wont down shift
skips gears.
??????????????????

check fuses first.
then scan the PCM, it will tell you errors, called DTCs
use a real scan tool that can scan 2010 Jeeps. (factory codes !!!)
not some autozoned junk.

id bet there is a code, for sure.
even a broken shifter switch, or?

I was driving to work this morning and was in 3rd gear, went to down shift at a stop sign and its stuck in 3rd gear. 1988 jeep wrangler. It has been grinding the gear for a few weeks now everytime I change...

The 3rd Gear Synchro is worn or damaged, which is why it grinds when you try to upshift or downshift into 3rd gear. When it goes out completely you will have a very hard time shifting into 3rd gear, since the Synchro lines up the gears to make shifts smooth and easy.

1995 jeep wrangler, when shifting gears,having trouble going into gears.grinding bad.what could it be...

If the transmission oil is full and the clutch master cylinder is full, feels normal and does not slip going up steep grades, likely the gears in the transmission are worn (usually synchros). All items above contribute to proper shift engagement.

Ive had two mechanics work on my jeep 91 wrangler.new clutch kit new master cylinder shifts fine engine off cranked have to double clutch to change gears im at the end of my wits love my jeep going nuts...

if the clutch is draging it will be hard to get your gears and they will chrunch going into gear but its most likly to be a gear box problem could be just low on oil or worse it may be the bulk rings and bearings worn out after all its now nearly 20 years old!

Jeep Wrangler 1998 straight drive has difficult times going into reverse gear. I don't drive it every day,usually towing it behind my RV. It seems better when I drive it more,but is still difficult to...

if this is a 5 speed manual transmission...all you need to do before putting your jeep into reverese is puting it into first gear and then shifting it to reverse to avoid any grinding or problems shifting into reverse...this isn't a problem just a poor jeep design by not installing an extra gear to eliminate this grinding or shifting problem

1991 jeep wrangler not shifting into gear could this be clutch

I would first bleed the tranny lines, if that doesnt work then your tranny is out and need to get it replaced. FYI with Jeep Wranglers, It is better to get a new transmission then to rebuild them
