Try checking oil level for the manual transmission ....?? or your clutch needs to be adjusted , cause your pressure plate in your clutch assembly is wearing down or needs to be changed after 20 yrs of service to you, to me that's pretty good....!!!! But it sounds like you will have to drop the transmission change pressure plate, trowel bearing and check rubber plunger above clutch inside of your truck and replace oil seal by spline, when you remove transmission from drive shaft, just to be safe it doesn't leak when re-assemble transmission to drive shaft. Check oil level of transmission or change oil cause it out already. Aloha

You may need more fluid or your fluid changed. Don't listen to the people that didn't even get that it is a manual transmission. Do any noises come from transmission at any time? Do you always push the clutch all the way to the floor when you shift? You should. Check for fluid leaks from your clutch master and clutch slave cylinders if applicable.

    Clutches do wear out people. Just like your brakes. The nicer you are to your car, the nicer it will be to you. Regular maintenance is absolutely necessary for every vehicle.

Many internal parts could be the problem. I would replace the vacuum modulator on the passenger side of the transmission first. Near the back. Only thing with a vacuum hose to it.

  • BAD GIRL TOWING Aug 09, 2015

    Sorry Randy, not every transmission is TH350. Especially not a manual one.

  • Randy Ohler Aug 09, 2015

    My bad. Read right past manual. Probably the nv3500. If it doesn't grind when changing gears, start with an oil change. Check the oil for metal flakes or bigger pieces. Fine metal flake is usually OK, Splinters and bigger pieces, I would pull the transmission and check it. If it does grind the synchronizers are bad and you probably have some bad bearings in it. Also when checking , if the bearing races fall out, then the case is worn. When changing oil, your's was probably 80w90 or 75w140 gear oil. I would put 10w30 back in it.

SOURCE: 5 speed manual transmission really hard to shift/change gears

The transmition is not the problem. The cables that run from the shifter to the transmition are the culpret. I recently rescued my wife from the road when the linkage broke on our VUE. I purchased new connectors and cables from the dealership and replaced them. For those that have the proper knowledge and skill set, you can replace them yourself. Others are better off having it done at a shop. The following is my personal experience and is not meant to be a guide, repair manual or procedure for those who lack formal automotive repair training! The new shifter cables come as a set. The cable with the white housing does not seem to be a problem. The cable with the black housing controls the push forward-pull back and the cable with the white housing controls the side to side movement. I found that the new cable with the black housing had the same sort of stiffness when I pushed and pulled the cable by hand. Then I noticed that the cable end was bent, causing it to bind in the housing. I straightened the end by bending it with my hands untill I felt the least amount of binding or resistance when pushing and pulling it. When I installed it the difference was amazing! I kept the old cable set for emergencies. The only tools you need to replace the cables and couplings are a 7mm socket on a screwdriver handle, a phillips head screwdriver and a pair of needle nose plyers. Remove the center console, (4, 7mm screws) and electrical connections. Then remove the plastic panels around the shifter, (7, phillips head screws and 2 plastic push pins) associated snap together panel fasteners and electrical connections. Pop each cable end off it's shifter joint/ball and push the collar back on each cable housing anchor. Pull the carpet back and push the rubber grommet through the firewall in the passenger footwell. Then pop the cable ends off at the transmition. Pull the old cable set out and reverse the procedure to install the new cables. There is an adjustment of the cable length. This should be done before replacing the plastic panels and center console. The new cable ends that attach to the shifter can be positioned/adjusted. Looking at the old cable pair you will see where the old clips were positioned and can start with that. Then run the shifter through all the gears to make sure they all engage. If you run out of travel on the shifter handle re-position the clips on the cable ends, as needed, to get full gear engagement without running out of travel.

What causes my1995 chevy pick up 5 speed not to go into gears easy after it gets warmed up but in the morning its fine till it gets hot or warmed up again then starts acting up again.

The valve body is worn to the extent that when engine heat warms up the transmission , pressure leaks around the shuttle valves in the body and then the trouble starts.

Probably the speed sensor on the transmission. It would cause both problems. You should also have a check engine light with a trouble code for the sensor.

Chevy aveo 2007 5door, shift handle feels lose, car goes

if its a 5 speed, yes the shifting is loser than normal cars. the reverse is all jacked up.. if its anything like my 06 aveo when you shift into reverse you have to lift the little circle thing on your shifter up ad act like your putting it into first.. If it grinds try doing it slower. I HATE this transmission. Chevy did a horrible job on picking it. I always grind reverse no matter what

My 1995 f150 5 speed transmission pops out of third gear why?If the shifting forks are damaged could this be the cause or is there any thing else that would do it?

There are any number of things internal to the tranny that could cause this. The popping out condition is caused by jamming the tranny into gear, or by failed sychronizers, gear/shaft wear, etc. Will require pulling and disassembly of the tranny to determine the exact cause.

92 Honda Accord, 5 speed, hard shifting into first & second gear.

First thing to do,try to pump your clutch before you shift into 1st gear then if you feel makes better, most probably you have problem with your hydraulic clutch system, check the clutch line if there is an evidence of fluid leaking or it could be internal leak.

Second thing to do, check your transmission oil, may be it' s too old or you use a thick oil thats why when cold its hard to shift then when the engine rich the normal temperature(warm) the oil become thin and the shifting will smooth. Remember the very old oil become thicken and the purity is gone and can cause of hard shifting. in this regards i suggest you to change the transmission oil and check the used oil if there is small peace of metals, then you are in big trouble,

Automatic Transmission shifts late and rough after warm

Try servicing the tranny fluid if not changing the fluid, if the problem has existed too long it may be time for a new tranny.
