If your shifter won't shift into reverse or 5th gear, it could be due to several issues. Common causes include low Transmission Fluid, a worn or damaged gear linkage, or a problem with the clutch (in manual vehicles). It’s also possible that there’s an issue with the transmission itself. It's advisable to have a professional mechanic inspect the vehicle to diagnose and address the problem.
it could be the shift linkage being that both gears over there wont work
Is it an automatic? Time for a new transmission... If a stick and 1st, 3rd, 5th are ok, then you have a possible shift cable problem. You should be able to see them on top of the trans. If everthing is moving properly the trans has an internal problem.
Well your transmission has to be overhauled. The shifter fork moves up and down on the shift gear and in and out of the gear cogs to allow it to shift gears.
The shift pattern for a 2005 Harley Road King follows a standard configuration for most Harley-Davidson motorcycles. It is a 5-speed transmission with a sequential shift pattern that operates as follows: first gear is engaged by pushing the gear shifter down, and subsequent gears (2nd to 5th) are accessed by lifting the shifter up. To shift down, the rider pushes the shifter down for each lower gear. Neutral is located between first and second gear.
it's your usual 1st gear top left lay out. From 1st pull straight down into 2nd, up into 3rd down into 4th, up into 5th. On most mystique's you must pull up a ring on the shifter in order to get into reverse which is the bottom right of the pattern.
Check your transmission fluid levels first
A lot of newer cars have a "lever" you must lift to shift into reverse. It's a safety feature to keep from throwing your car into reverse instead of 5th gear. Mine is a ring right below the knob that you lift up. See if you car has something similar.
sounds like the catalytic converter.
I believe it is the same as in my 98 vw golf, as far as I know anyway, that would be with reverse being closest to the driver, and everything is normal after that. 1st to 5th.
If automatic.... pull the emergency beak and put the shift on N for neutral... If 5 or 6 speed... there should be a picture showing you 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, reverse and neutral..............
i had the same problem. what i found was the fault or the book when i went to check the oil level from the front of the trans this bolt is NOT A PLUG it holds the back of the revers gear shaft in place i recommend you do not remove you have to open the case to fix the problem
Clutch may need adjustment and it may not be fully dropping the plate. Possibly the dogs on the synchros are mashed up. Put it in second gear and then try sliding it into reverse.
