I replace it with a used one 5 sp transmission and now the one i replace it with will not shift

Doesn't matter what gear it's in when you install it. Are you sure you got the shift lever installed right? With the truck not running, can you move the shifter around into all gears? If not, either the shift lever is not installed right, or the transmission has an internal fault. If you can't shift gears only when running, the clutch is not working. On Ford pick-ups with the clutch slave cylinder inside the bell housing of the transmission, best practice is to replace the slave cylinder along with the new clutch.

Have a 2003 Dodge Intrepid. I can't get the shifter on the column to move out of park even when I move the steering wheel up,down & side to side. Is it the cable, the link, what?

The shifter needs to be inspected. The shifter assembly is got misaligned, it has to be open and realign.

There are many other possibilities. But if it was working right up till now and suddenly this occurred then its shifter assembly alignment issue.

Also i suggest you to refer these gear shift issues, which are mostly noticed. These are direct links with appropriate solutions to the specific problems of gear ****.

1998 pontiac sunfire gt standard transmission diagram having shifter problems trying to find out why

Check that as you move the shifter, that the shifting rods beneath are moving in tune with the shifter's position.
If not, then your mechanism is faulty.
It is almost certain that the issue lies with the external shifting mechanism.
The issue may be just beneath the shifter lever, within the rubber or leather bag shroud. You might have to pull out the centre console to have a closer inspection.

Won't go in reverse and all gears are in forward motion including nutral

check the linkage from the tranny, is it an automatic tranny ?, make sure the shifter cable is moveing in and out when you shift gears, if it moves both ways you might have to adjust the linkage again as it could have slipped, hope this helps.

Would need more info on the heat/ac problem. But on the shifting problem check under the hood and make sure when the shifter is moved the linkage moves. If not the shift cable is most likely the problem, but check at the shifter to make sure.

The jeep always acts like its in gear it will move forward in nutral and will not go in reverse

They locking nut has come loose on the shift control arm on the side of the transmission, you need to put it in park and adjust it so the arm is all the way forward and the shift lever is all the way into the Park position, this should get rid of the car moving when the shifter lever is not in reverse.
