5th Gear problems
I have had my 93 Jeep Wrangler for about two years. I have just replaced the clutch about 4 moths ago. Now when I go to shift into fifth gear it go in but, if I have to coast to slow down I pop out of gear.
My brother had a 95 Wrangler that completely lost fifth gear. Will this happen to mine? What could be the problem & how much to fix. I was hoping to get rid of the Jeep in about 8 months and don't want to have to pay another 1,200 bucks to fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated. |

5th Gear problems Wrangler
I have a 1995 Wrangler. 5th Gear has been out twice. Both times the same reason. The retaining clip that holds the gear in place breaks and the gear floats down the shaft out of range to engage. It's a $3 part to replace, if you can save the gaskets when you take the tranny apart. However you have to remove the tranny and split the case to get at it. You can buy a kit with all the gaskets and syncronizers for $130 off EBAY, but it doesn't have the retaining clip. You can buy the clip for $3 bucks from a jeep dealer. This should be a recall issue for Jeep. Most the 5 speed trannys on EBay have the same problem. Your problem could be simpler. There's a spring loaded retaining ball that's accessable from the outside of the tranny that holds the shifting forks in place. When they get worn, the gears can spin out to their neutral position.

Re: 5th Gear problems
Decade old thread but perhaps details below will help someone else.
Going down freeway in 5th and then 'no 5th', no noise, all else OK. Pulled tranny (after driving for a few weeks without 5th) snap ring on main shaft at back end of tranny popped out of its slot, and drive gear on output shaft slipped off the spline onto bare section of shaft. Could have fixed just removing the xfer case and driving on a new snap ring, wold be a 15 in job on a 2 WD if you had the 1" snap ring on hand I had a habit of using 5th to brake, that forces slanted gear OFF the spline (drive forces against main bearing) Lots of steep hills here so 5th for braking seemed wise, until now. Will not use 5th for downhill braking any longer. BTW, '84 NWC T5 tranny. |
