A stick shift
i think you have that backwards 3 feels like 5. weak. right.?
I think you mean just that engine power week?
and that the clutch dont slip .
if clutch does slip ,adjust the cable. if it has one.
if engine power lacks , get tuneup.
tell more get more.

    very tricky question
    op try to post it more clearly
    in terms of speed,RPM and hills and gears.

    avoid power wise word
    tell is the witnessed power in all gears 1 to 5
    surely you know what is normal
    here like this
    in 3 gear, i can not get normal road speed
    like that.
    that means weak engine of RPM is low.
    and clutch not slipping allowing rpm to scream very high and not speed up.

    low power can be slip
    see?
    if your mechanic did this, take him 5min.

SOURCE: NO 5TH GEAR IN MY 1995 MITS 3000,NO NOISE,NO PROBLEMS SHIFTING

I have the same problem. on the passenger side under the fender you will have access to the transmission. Remove the cap on the end. You will need to drain the transmission fluid and replace all the gears in the end cap if damaged hopefully they are not and you can just tighten up the nut. What happens is a nut comes loose and backs off the pressure on the bearings and you loose 5th. I removed the entire transmission and opened it up. There is nothing wrong with the other gears, because your problem is with the 5th gear synchronizer assembly. I let mine go too long and I'm having to replace everything. Make sure you put the appropriate torque on the nut and hit it with a hammer to lock it down. This should really be designed with a different method of keeping that nut in place. It's costing me lots of time and now money at the stealership. Good LUCK.

SOURCE: 1st, 3rd & 5th gear

how about the 4th gear?

if its fine in the 4th gear, its your transmission. if you have automatic I would try to replace the auto trany computer if you could find it at the wrecking yard.

inspect at 30,000 miles for wear, replace every 60,000 miles.

SOURCE: What would be causing gears to pop out. At first

You probably need to rebuild the transmission, and look for gears that have been damaged, synchronizers that have failed, and worn parts in general.
The clutch has no bearing on whether the tranny slips out of gear.

I'm missing a switch on top my manual transmission on 91 geo tracker, that I was told that it was a 5th gear switch... can't find anything to show this. Is there such a switch?

Not sure what you mean by "switch" but shifting from 4th gear to 5th gear is the same motion as shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd gear.

Is there a cabin filter in a 1995 geo prisum?

hard question that is. very very very hard
if you had read the service manual it says, OPTIONAL
try alldata.com see HVAC chapter.
or buy a real FSM book.

even my 2004 GEO, (last year) says, OPTIONAL and mine has it.
i think 1995 is none year. (pure shooting from hip, Geo wise)

How to test a relay?

11_18_2011_8_47_02_pm.gif

when you connect power pins of your relay to power source (#30 and #87) you have to hear a click sound. if no sound relay is broken. 85 and 86 acts like a switch only. if there is power on power pins circuit is closed if no power circuit is open. (there are some relays which has 5th pin it acts opposite way. when there is power circuit is open...)
