well it is a manual transmission GEN 10 F150
M50D; M5R2; (both used)
4wd?
gee check gear lube levels first or drain and fill it with correct lub.
this is top of box shifter directly to shift rails , good that.
how many speeds is he box? 3,4,5? seems is 4 speed.
the clutch actuation parts (pedal to MC to slave is top failure
so first gear and reverse can not be selected
25 years of shifting can be $1 part on tip of shift lever making the H pattern dead or random and a huge pain.
i have repaired cars with manual boxes , all clutch parts and rebuilt the box every ,all bearings new and synchro, and bad forks..
wish I could watch you but
key off can you get all gears in the H pattern parked?
or is shifter acting crazy loose.?
can you start the engine in 1st gear now or put in to first gear ,key off then in first gear for sure key off start the engine.? and not have car lurch forward. (yes clutch held down)
sorry all I have are questions transmissions have lots of fail paths.
even M/T boxes do but last way longer. I went 300k miles on mine
and only 1 slave cylinder failure and 250kh on 2more cars.
is the MC (clutch only) full of fluid in its Reservoir. if low drops fast
the MC or Slave is bad and leaking fluid.
fix this first if is true MC fluid loss week by weak ,day by day loss
no complaints starting the engine in 1s gear or any gear.
non, and is A#1 TOP IMPORTANT FACT
OR CAN NOT SHIFT TO 1ST PARKED KEY OFF.
THE STARTER IS DEAD CLUTCH NOT DEPRESSES SO TESTS AR LIMITED.
BUT GEE , KEY OFF AND PICK 1ST GEAR , BRAKES OFF
AND HAND PUSH CAR TO SEE GEE 1ST IS WORKING,
BUT SURE WE WILL NOT BE SURE 1ST IS PICKED, IF THE LEVER TIP IS BAD.
NOW THE HORROR, ALL 3 ENGINES USE AN M/T BOX
THE SLAVE CYLINDER CAN NOT BE SEEN
IT IS A COAX SLAVE DEEP INSIDE, (i HATE THEM)
LAST ONE I DID 4WD WAS 10 HARD HOURS LABOR TO REPLACE.
IF THE SLAVE IS ON THE BELL HOUSING SIDE BE HAPPY.
IF You run the box dry of LUBE the shift fork (1 of many) welds and fuses to the gear and cannot ever be shifted again,and yes I have cured those too.
the shift lever bushing is due.
true name
Trans. code M50D; M5R1/M5R2 Manual Transmission, Plastic shifter bushing
this $2 part does not last long, 100k miles or so
and gets beat to deathh in city traffic.
Part D seen here. at the tip of the shifter stick bottom end
it just dies. and shifter H pattern is loose and RANDOM>
if scared of grease use silicon grease as we use on O-rings.
100% safe that is. grease.
now the shifter works like it did in 1997 ,tight
if still scan no get 1st gear for sure idling Neutro
try reverse too. if reverse grinds or balks the slave is leaking
making the clutch dead and engaged full time.
hmmm....it would seem as if your trans is having a bit of a hard time shifting so its sort of waiting before it can shift to the next gear (possible the gear system is having a problem shifting due to it sticking to some gears) i'd have to say....a mechanic can take a look to see why its seemingly shifting late at high RPMs to me IMO the trans is just having a hard time shifting with gears wanting to stick together making the whole trans have a hard time shifting
Sounds like the shifter may be wearing out. You may have to get into the transaxle to check it out. Could also be a problem with the alignment of the shift cable between the shifter and the trans.
the shift sinkcranizers are dry .may have to pull the shifter and use some white lithum grease on it work the shifter from gear to gear working in the grease drive the truck for about 25-30 miles and change trans fluid
U need to pull the shift rails out and check them for wear, chances are they are in need of replacement, if u dn't know how to do this have a trans repair shop do it.
likely the shift rails are worn inside the trans. In changing shift, you have removed the wear on the end of the stick, but not the corresponding wear where the stick fits into. It will need to be taken apart to repair this. (would not hurt to have synchros replaced at the same time.) OR, replace transmission if you have an inexpensive one available.
Though you did not say, I'm going to assume it's a stick shift. Shifter popping out of gear nearly always indicated an internal transmission problem (likely worn synchros) Either way, trans needs to be replaced or rebuilt. Transfer case is supposed to be filled with good grade auto transmission fluid, though some people opt for gear oil (but it gets really thick in cold weather). You may aslo have a t-case problem if you ran it low, but it is not related to shifter problem!
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.
