The shift rods on the ax5 have ball bearings with springs that fit into notches in the rod, if they are anything but perfectly round they can get stuck.
This happened to me too, and I struggled with it for a while, I thought I was going to break something pushing and pulling on it until it just came loose all of a sudden. No issues after that.
You may have to remove the shifter and realign forks in the top of transmission--problem usually caused by wear
Yes
Several things can cause your transmission to be stuck in second gear. Broken or detached shifting linkage will cause the problem. A broken shifting for in the transmission can also cause the problem.
check your shifter bushings, next would be inside the trans at the shift collar.
Bad synchronizer. Internal transmission repair required to fix.
the problem is u have to take it to a transmission repair guy
yup had the same problem never knew what broke in the tranny
I had the same problem with my 96 Grand Voyager. When the transmission has a problem it will lock in first gear as not to leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere. There are electronics in the transmission and sensors that have detected a problem. I hate to say this but the transmission has to be rebuilt or changed.
your transmission is stuck in what we call limp mode. Take it to a transmission shop and have an electrical scan done. Does your speedometer work or not ? If not then it could be as simple as a output speed sensor or broken wire
If it is a three speed transmission, there is an internal failure. If a four speed the computer has detected a malfunction and set a code.
You need to have the computer checked for codes. That will tell you what area the problem is in. It can be wiring, computer, or even an issue with the new transmission.
the transmission is stuck in a fail safe mode, indicating there could be an internal problem.
