oh yeah, it's a 1994 jeep wrangler with a 4cy. with a 5 speed but i don't know which kind of tranny it is, if it's a a-5 or what. oh yeah, it's a 1994 jeep wrangler with a 4cy. with a 5 speed but i don't know which kind of tranny it is, if it's a a-5 or what.

there is only 1 first test. does the end of the shiter rod actually work, that is does it actually index the shift rods, and forks, to reach 5th, nothing else matters, if id does NOT, then you are NOT in 5th gear but neutral, its that simple pull the shift rod, see the damage there? many have a plastic buffer end, its bad. when you move this shift lever, it moves a shifting pocket (H pattern) and that pocket move the rail rods, they move the shift forks. that part must work, if not , you miss shifts. 99% of time the pastics are bad. seen 100s. like that may be more. if you run a box dry the forks weld to the gear sliders. its not that. and locks in gear. it just the shifter tip, see 1million hits on google for all cars M/T its like #1 there is only 1 first test. does the end of the shiter rod actually work, that is does it actually index the shift rods, and forks, to reach 5th, nothing else matters, if id does NOT, then you are NOT in 5th gear but neutral, its that simple pull the shift rod, see the damage there? many have a plastic buffer end, its bad. when you move this shift lever, it moves a shifting pocket (H pattern) and that pocket move the rail rods, they move the shift forks. that part must work, if not , you miss shifts. 99% of time the pastics are bad. seen 100s. like that may be more. if you run a box dry the forks weld to the gear sliders. its not that. and locks in gear. it just the shifter tip, see 1million hits on google for all cars M/T its like #1

on many m/T gear boxes, you can remove the shift lever from the tower, and swift it to 5th, with a BF screwdriver. on many m/T gear boxes, you can remove the shift lever from the tower, and swift it to 5th, with a BF screwdriver.

see that end part, its nice and clear in the photo, that is bad. I BET. you clutch is good, im sure you keep oil fresh so, do expect a $1 piece of platic to fail, it prevents shifter buzzz like old 50s cars did..... see that end part, its nice and clear in the photo, that is bad.

the car shifts to 5th and works sometimes, the gears are good. and if they are good (ive restored many 5sp) then it either the $1 plastic gone, or the shift rail detent locking system is bad. The manual box has a way to engine 2 gears at once, inside, this system prevents this from happening, using detent ball locks in the rail. its very rare for these to fail. 2 gears at once, driving , causes tranny to explode. (crack open like an egg and drop gears to road) that plastic part in your car, is way too old, im sure of it. the car shifts to 5th and works sometimes, the gears are good. and if they are good (ive restored many 5sp) then it either the $1 plastic gone, or the shift rail detent locking system is bad.

well i got the shifter out and the plastic piece was good, i took a screw driver and moved it into 5th gear and still had nothing, so i guess my next thing is to take the tranny out and try to fix it, well i got the shifter out and the plastic piece was good, i took a screw driver and moved it into 5th gear and still had nothing, so i guess my next thing is to take the tranny out and try to fix it,

oops ,that is not good. broken fork, if the shift rods move to 100% 5th gear the fork is bad.the fork moves the acutal 5th counter gear i to dogs, if the syncro blocker ring (say) was mangled, it would not move 100% in to gear. the forks love to die first by running low lube. if low they overheat glow red hot and melt and then snap off, never seen one ever do that with clean full lube. ever. (exceptions) on tranny i hand had defective forks that were never heat treated and were like butter, failed in 3000 miles new car. oops ,that is not good. broken fork, if the shift rods move to 100% 5th gear the fork is bad.the fork moves the acutal 5th counter gear i to dogs, if the syncro blocker ring (say) was mangled, it would not move 100% in to gear. the forks love to die first by running low lube. if low they overheat glow red hot and melt and then snap off, never seen one ever do that with clean full lube. ever.

the fsm pages for this tranny are here. for YJ jeep, this boxes are dream to work on, it slides out on AX5 (Ax15?) the only tricks inside are the lock balls,. see tranny pages here, next link. the fsm pages for this tranny are here. for YJ jeep, this boxes are dream to work on, it slides out on AX5 (Ax15?) the only tricks inside are the lock balls,. see tranny pages here, next link.

ax-15 is for 4liter engiee, page chpt.21-pg32 :) oops, see page see restictor pins on top sides of shifter, what if the wore loss, the shiter might fail in 5th, (left restrictor) lets look for adjustment proceedure. page 42 is 5th set screw, i see....5th has its own rail, if the tranny is quite in neutral and in all forward gears, just pulling it out of main case, you will see why fifth is messing up. page 64, the restrictor pin are factory machined, perfect, so what if the left is loose casing the main shift rod to over travel. that be next check fo sure, and a 5min job. Im sure (if necessary) if the box is pull , from case , and fitht testing now, it will be obvious why it will not. ax-15 is for 4liter engiee, page chpt.21-pg32 :) oops, see page see restictor pins on top sides of shifter, what if the wore loss, the shiter might fail in 5th, (left restrictor) lets look for adjustment proceedure. page 42 is 5th set screw, i see....5th has its own rail, if the tranny is quite in neutral and in all forward gears, just pulling it out of main case, you will see why fifth is messing up. page 64, the restrictor pin are factory machined, perfect, so what if the left is loose casing the main shift rod to over travel. that be next check fo sure, and a 5min job.
