Is it auto or manuel have you tried topping up the gear box oil it sounds to me as if there is not enough in it when you go down hill the oil is going to the sender unit in the box thats if its an auto which in turn lets the gears change

Hello, The adjust of your t/v cable, not kickdown cable, and the operation of the vacuum controller at the rear of injection pump, and the modulator, is critical for this car to get a good shift.
Put you cable back on, adjust it so that when you have wide open throttle, the cable does not have any slack. Check the black vacuum line by the oil filter housing that goes to the modulator to see if it has vacuum. It should have about 10-15" vacuum and as you increase engine speed it should drop. If you get close to this, the trans should shift ok. If you cannot get vacuum at the modulator line, you need to ck vacuum supply, valve at rear of injection pump, hose routing, etc.
If the B2 piston failed, it would be difficult to move car or slip badly. Also, take into mind that at the bottom of your accelerator pedal stroke is a kickdown switch.
If you accomplish what I instructed, you will probably get a decent shift.
If you find this information to be correct would you please enter a "fixya" rating.
Thanks, Gator241

What you need to check is the transmission release bearing because if there is a clearance on the release bearing you will encounter this problem and also check the transmission oil.

2001 Nissan Xterra 5 speed manual 4x4 wont won't shift into 2nd, 4th, or reverse.

Probably issues with Shift Solenoids. You need a transmission specialist or an auto electrician with a pro grade bi-directional scan tool computer that can tell the solenoids to operate and confirm that they did. Or it is the powertrain module that is at fault.

Hi! i have been experiencing difficulty in down shifting from 3rd gear to 2nd but i can put it in to 3rd gear from 2nd easy! Do you know what the problem could be?

what you have is a synchro ring that speeds up the gear to be selected and then locks a dog toothed ring into that gear
However that synchro ring has a lot of work to do to speed up the gear and if the rotation differences between the gears is too great , it will not allow engagement and it will feel blocked
so possible things that affect the synchro are
transmission oil too thick (ford recommend 30 grade mineral oil)
worn synchro cones
worn /weal synchro spring
trying a racing shift at too high a road speed
clutch needs bleeding
clutch dragging
It is the same effect as you get when coming to lights and try to engage 1st gear
rolling speed is faster than engine rpm for the input shaft and so it will not go into first

'99 wrangler has trouble shifting to 2nd gear - 4th gear occasionally slips to neutral

If you can see where the shifter goes through the floorboard, make sure the shifter is not hitting the floor.
There could be interfierence under the car also.
