Transmission. You're probably stuck in the same high gear. Which would explain why you can't climb at a low speed. Also explain why you can't change to reverse. It's not changing gears at all is what it sounds like to me. You can at least check your transmission fluid and see if it's a redish color like it should be. But you should honestly get it checked out by a mechanic.

My 2012 accent manual tranny stuck in gear. No prior problems or warning signs. Clutch is engaging seems to be fine. Any help?

There are forks in the transmission that shift from different gears. They break and wear out. Bears will also cause a symptom like this, but they will make noise.

Shifting into higher gear problems with 2004 yukon xl

The shift solenoids may not be getting the correct signals from the transmission control module . Read the codes to see if it's the solenoids or the module.

Is there anything I could do to bring my RPM's down when Im driving in hwy. I have a 96 t100 4x4 stick, stock. At 70mph rpm is at 3300. I changed to manual hubs and that helps a little.

The only way to accomplish that is to change the axle gear ratio. Trucks are generally geared for hauling, towing, plowing, etc, so you have more torque and power at lower speeds. If you change the axle ratio,your low end performance will probably suffer (sluggish acceleration at low speed). Basically, your T100 is not designed for 70mph highway driving.

I just wanted to know the optimal shifting points to do 70mph comfortably. Should the car be at 2500-3000 rpm in 5th gear at 60-65 mph? I typically shift at or around 3k rpm in every gear, and the car...

How many gears does your car have? One of my cars has to do a little over 3000rpm to maintain 70-75 in 5th gear. My other car has to do about 3000rpm to maintain 65-70 in 5th gear.

It all depends on the number of gears your car has and the gearing ratio. The second car I have is geared more optimally for city driving and gets better fuel economy going slower than fast highway speeds.

Having driven several rental cars too I would say anywhere between 2500 to 3000 is reasonable for the average car. If you are driving a vehicle like say a porsche, bmw or audi they may have more gears and may be at a lower rpm at 70mph than your car.

My car is misting and it be shaking

Pull out the spark plugs one at a time and check to see if they are firing. I had the same problem while merrily driving at 70mph. All of a sudden I lost spark in one spark plug wire. It just went without warning.
