1999 ford explorer 4.0 manual transmission gear shifter wont fit on shaft
transmission shift bolt loose try pushing gear shifter all the way back to park
Gear shifter or manual transmission.
Check the linkage from the gear selector (shifter) to the transmission. It may have come loose. If it's intact, check your transmission fluid level. If this doesn't fix the problem, then you'll have to have it towed to the shop.
I have the similar situation on my shifter on my 1991 pontiac sunbird 2.0 Liter. The shifter was kinda loose last two year, but it shifted fine. However, 2 days ago. When I put in "Park" gear, it was still moving forward, I put in "Rear" gear, it felt like in "Park", when I put in "Drive" gear, it felt like in "neutral". And the shifter is sometimes very loose, but back to normal when I put the shifter back and forth. I took it to a transmission store, they found out the "shift linkage cable" from the shift to the transmission was broken. I changed it today and so far no problem.
Just put the gear shifter into od and go.Just put the gear shifter into od and go.
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
holds it in that perticular gear.
Typically the interlock with with the brake pedal has failed, also the transmission shifter linkage could be loose and jammed. You may be able to remove the shifter cover and see the interlock and manually move it aside so you can get vehicle to a shop. The interlock makes sure you do not put vehicle in gear without the brakes on.
Assuming you're driving a car with a manual transmission, the problem may be worn shifter linkages. Does it tend to pop out of some gears more often than others? While in gear, does the shifter feel loose with lots of free play? You'll have to check the linkages between the shifter and transmission to id Save entify worn bushings to be repaired/replaced.
hold in the clutch
It may just be a screw came loose underneath your gear shifter. That is what happened to me. Just slide the stuff up to the top of your gear shifter and look underneath. If one of the bolts is udone, just simple put it back on.
