Question edited for clarity.

Some help here as it is a known issue.

Adjustment and Bush Kits. Correct alignment is needed.

RWD or 4wd, ?
where does the gear swift fit and how.//
Gen2 pickup truck D40 model?
the 5 speed or 6 speed box? both are sold then., M/T

in 5th gear, and foot off the clutch pedal, car in motion fast.
box jumps to neutral all by itself causes:
1: bad shifter linkages. loose or damaged parts here.(hope)
2: inside box , shifting forks damaged or huge wear. (all bad news)
3: shift fork to rail detente balls bad or spring bad to ball.
4; wrecked 5th gear syncro ring. (cheap easy fix for a gear head.(me)
5: -5th gear syncro dogs on the gear wrecked, wrong and bad.
6: bearings in the main shaft are worn and causes 5th gear to jog wildly. and fail and jump out of gear to neutral.

to prove is it linkages or the box bad.?? is goal #1
is not easy that fast, ? danger be careful.

but put rear axle on jack stands and drive it.
even shifting it by hand at the box.
how to do that is not easy and no car named that is sold USA
my 4wd car RWD , i can shift the box with all covers pulled on top of my box seen here
ive done this

the car and body and linkage are not all the same.
and what is there , I see with my eyes and now what to do
cables or not or linkage or not or lever direct shift as photo above is.
Ive not one idea what linkage you have.
but if you can shift the box, with linkage pulled that is a test.
if not replace the linkages that is loose, bent,cracked or worn or damaged in any way. replace it cheap
no box fix is cheap on labor side.

my guess at clutch change out you did not do linkage adjustments in the service manual or put it back wrong or bolts loose ?

good cluck that is all I have lacking photos of shifter and linkage below it.

auto or manual would help, i would say clutch in a manual or damage to auto gear box or torque convertor if automatic. manual is a cheap fix auto may be thousands.

the linkage is loose or poping out! check to c if trans is tightend down

Does that transmission have external shift linkage? Sounds like a linkage broke or the neutral gate is way off.

it is very likely this is being cuased by worn shift linkage and not the transmission itself, check the shift rods and bushings for being excessively loose, also any trans repair shop will do a test drive and give you a free diagnosis in hope of getting the work, things are tight right now. please rate this.

Most transmission shifter ( where you shift) has a linkage control to shift gears in the transmission. Those joints from the linkage have bushings made of rubber. Once these rubbers were worn down and torn, the noise from metal friction from linkage can give you that intermittent noise. When the gap from the linkage joint enlarges in lieu of the bushing space, it causing the engagement of shifting is off from original position that was why you are experiencing "binding in other gears"
Have a different shop to check out these linkage control bushings and replace them. The bushings are cheap and it probably takes about 2 hours the most to replace them. This will save you a lot of money on spending on unnecessary repair. Good Luck.

this is a common issue with the o2j/o2m transmissions. due to miss shifts or loose linkage.


the easiest fix for this is to shift from reverse to 2nd over and over. then try to force it into first gear. it will be very difficult sometimes to do but it will go. once you get it in first it will be very hard to move, but you will just have to keep shifting from first to second over and over and it will begin to loosen up. make sure you are doing this with the engine off.

the second way to do this if the first fails is to have the shift linkage adjusted.

Your shift linkage has come undone. Jack the car up and climb underneath. You shift linkage is either com undone from the trans or you shift stabelize bad has come undone at the shift arm.

Usually this is a linkage problem, and most often the rubber lined coupling between two rods in the linkage system. This fails as the rubber ages, and when it does you are unable to select some or all gears, and might be stuck in one gear!

Not too difficult to re and re, and part is available from Saab dealer at reasonable cost.

Coupling may be located inside the car, under the console, ahead of the gear lever housing, or on the other side of the firewall
