Most likely the clutch is shot. When the clutch plate can't engage with the transmission there will be slippage between the engine and the drive wheels.

I have a 1979 Jeep CJ-7 with a 3 speed T-150 Transmission. It was rebuilt head to toe with a fiberglass body. The transmission was rebuilt as well. I have recently had issues getting it into gear?

A T150 is a top loader, so cannot be a linkage problem, but could be a clutch linkage problem. You didn't say if it ground gears, or was just tough to pull into gear. Anyway, check clutch adjustment.

If your Kia Sephia doesn't move in drive, but does move in 1st and 2nd gear, you have a problem with the transmission. Sometimes this is just an issue with the linkage and can be repaired easily.

If it has a hydraulic clutch I'd suspect a leak in the master or slave cylinder. If it isn't a hydraulic clutch I'd check the linkage.


How do you stop gears from stickingHard to get into gear 99 ford ranger?

If you're asking about a manual transmission, it's probably a clutch problem. If it shifts somewhat normally when the engine is off but is difficult to shift when running, it's eithe a clutch plate, pilot bushing (or glan nut, whichever yours has) or the clutch linkage/hydraulic clutch mechanism.


What would it be difficult to shift into first gear?

a) Check gear oil level/condition. b) or you have a worn synchronizer. Verify that your clutch linkage is adjusted, if this is a cable linkage vehicle. Hydraulic units are not suppose to be adjustable. Your difficulty with getting the vehicle into first gear could be a result of the throw-out fork not fully releasing the clutch disk; hence the above suggestion to verify that the clutch mechanism is adjusted properly for full travel of the throw-out fork.


What causes a 5 speed transmission not to shift with the shifter?

if you mean it wont go into gear and it grinds like a sob but other gears still work synchronizers. if you mean the shifter is loose an cant find the gear anymore - linkage. if it wont go into any gear sounds like a clutch problem


Car doesnt move when put into gear?

When the shifting linkage is disconnected the car will appear to go into gear but not move. The car will not move when the transmission fluid is low.
