Isuzu is "Missing" 4th gear, Like Blocked out of the gear?
Monday, October 06, 2008 11:20 AM
So I had to replace my Isuzu a while back because it Disintegrated. Well The new tranny was in the car before I found out It would not shift into 4th gear at all. Its like Something is blocking the gear. I cannot even try to force it into gear. No grinding or anything EVERY other gear is fine.

Cables are all clear along with linkage. I tried to shift directly on the tranny and it wont go into gear.


So I have never opened up a tranny, Any ideas as to weather its something I can fix? or is it something i should bring to a tranny shop?


Thanks

never had a gear 'blocked' on any of my Isuzu's before, have had one get stuck in 4th gear though... syncro broke in two and it was all she wrote.

you could be having a similar issue.

your doing a nice new engine, trust me... ditch the isuzu and get a getrag in there.

Different front mount only... and so long as you get it with the transmission like I did you are fine.

All the bolt holes line up except for 1 or 2.

You use a NVG Throwout bearing and an isuzu flywheel and clutch.

why would you knowingly put parts in when your just going to change them out in a year?

time to bring this back from the grave, has anyone else had this problem?as this is the one I currently have, sucks when driving through the mountains. anyways, I have seen (on a ford), where the "shifter tower" on the transmission was messed up causing this can this be possible on the isuzu? especially if ALL other gears work nicely? I know syncros can be the problems, but without a real tranny shop, and the right area to rip apart, figured Id throw this question up instead of starting new thread

i had kind of the opposite happen back in the day.. had it get STUCK in 4th, could not move it out, not even manually on the trans.

ended up being a syncro broken in half.
