Why would a car with a standard transmission not go uphill even in first gear?

Hey Richard==I imagine the clutch is weak and slipping. Have it checked out and replaced if necessary. GoodluckJoe
A temporary "fix" is to buy some baby powder. Find an access hole at the back of the engine where the transmission bell housing is located-- it will show some gear teeth that the starter uses. Have a friend pump on the clutch pedal several times while you squirt baby powder into the clutch hole. Make sure the transmission is in neutral and engine stopped, of course! Don't EVER get under the car with the engine running, please. If you need more than once, start the engine, work the clutch. Stop engine and repeat with baby powder.
The baby powder will soak up any oil on the slipping clutch and provide some temporary "grab" . You still need a new clutch. But I have driven a slipping clutch--carefully--for three months this way. When taken apart, the clutch had pieces all over the bell housing.

What causes 1992 gmc safari van to run bad and lose power going uphill?
Is the vehicles transmission downshifting to a lower gear as you go uphill? If not, that would be your first place to look. After that I would suspect that your engine timing is not autmatically advancing as it should be.
What would cause a drop in speed while going uphill if the transmission has slipped before?
A drop in speed while going uphill is normal for most vehicles. If the speed is more than 20 mph slower than when first ascending the hill, there could still be a problem with the transmission or an oxygen sensor.

You can do anything you want with money but it would be much cheaper to just buy another escort that is a standard shift.
How do you take out a transmission out of a blazer?
I thought I could remove and replace the transmission in my Blazer, I did get it out but I didn't want to put it back in so I paid a local shop to come and get the blazer, transmission, and all the parts that had to be removed to get the transmission out and finish the job. I would suggest that since you are asking this question, maybe you would be better off going to a transmission shop in the first place. Mine is an automatic, a standard transmission would be much easier.
Suppose your transmission breaks is it cheaper to change to a manual transmission or buy an automatic transmission let's say that the car is a 99 Toyota corolla CE?
It would be cheaper to repair or replace the automatic transmission. There are too many differences between a standard transmission and an automatic to economically swap in a standard.

I would check the point gap and timing first. If that does not correct it, I would check the carburetor float level.
