Sometimes spray lube on linkages & bushings down at the transmission & at areas where you see movement during shifting, will cure that, otherwise you may need some new bushings at certain areas. Have someone move shifter while you observe different pivot points for too much slop. (movement)

Why might my 5 speed manual transmission in my 1999 Ford Ranger XLT hard to shift into each gear?

is your clutch pedal soft? If so you could have a slave cylinder leaking or maybe just in the the system bleed back up. Might be that the clutch drive disc is burned up making it hard to shift

Will not shift out of 2nd gear

Tranny most likely shot. I believe yours is a T-5, I had the same issue years back but in 3rd gear. Usually the clutch going out is a gradual thing. So I would have a tranny shop look at it. Maybe find a cheap rebuilt tranny for ya.Look online or a trusted shop.

I purchased a 96 Metro 1.3L 5 speed about a year ago, and it was hard to get it into gear, and it would often pop out of 3rd gear when driving. Now I have trouble going from first to second without...

your best bet is to get a tranny from an auto wrecker, and replace the clutch while you're at it. If the tranny is that problematic, it's not worth fixing. The clutch kit, which includes the disc, release bearing, and pressure plate, would be under $150, and a used tranny probably $100. Try and find one with reasonably low mileage. Good luck.

I have a 2002 mustang GT 5 speed,and it grinds going into 3rd gear,every other gear is fine,any suggestions? thanks steve

these are just some suggestions to help diagnose, 1. check gear oil level low level can cause gear free spin if not efficient amount of gear oil causing a grind as entering gear. 2. If you do some agressive driving, or rest your foot on the clutch frequently while driving, can cause excessive heat in clutch causing warpage of clutch or flywheel, once it is warped will cause vibration to transmission causing shifting issues sometimes only in one gear if you have a service boot on your transmission bell housing you can pull this of and monitor smoothness of clutch an fly wheel while running and tranny in nuetral excessive runout is a sign of something warped. 3. is not so not easy most of the time third gear is the main gear for the syncronizers, generally the first gear to show issues when they are failing, The transimission would have to be pulled torn apart and inspected to truly diagnose this as your problem. Good luck

I have a 1995 Dodge Dakota 5 speed. The gears are

im not 100% but i think that truck has a hydraulic clutch. if it does for sure then check the fluid level if its a cable or linkage type then it may be out of adjustment. Ether way (low on fluid or out of adjustment) the clutch may not be fully disengaged while your trying to shift. Start there before getting to far into it.

1st and 2nd gear went out

Check your shifting forks, they are probably worn out

Gears on my car seem hard to change

if it is grinding when its going into gears it could be the sychronizers. they tend to be the first things to go in manual trannys. if it isnt grinding when its doing it then the clutch could not be fully disengaging when you push it in and that could be it. but if its grinding then i believe its the sychronizers
