When im cruising in 5th gear the shifter pops into neutral. Put the clutch in and it shifts back into gear fine, no grinding. Takes about 5 seconds or less to pop into neutral. I had to drive all the way home(60 miles) holding it in gear. Please help!!
I had this happen once. Turns out the oil was low in the transmission and I needed to adjust the clutch. I didn’t replace the washer on the drain bolt and had a very slow leak.
check the fluid level asap before you burn up fifth gear and the bearings. Has this happen on a few friends d-series trans
ok i found a leak in the axle seal. fixing today and refilling. Hopefully nothing is burnt up.
filled with fluid this weekend. It took 2 quarts of oil so i say it was pretty low. It is still leaking tho. Gonna get it up in the air this weekend and really work on it. 5th gear did return tho. Thanks for the advice. No probs now (except for the leak).
did you just fill it up and not replace the seal? i did that before and it just kept leaking until the seal got real bad and was emptying out like crazy. i replaced it with an oem seal and have not had a problem since then.
Im sure Your Fifth gear will show wear and heat marks from low fluid if you were to take it apart let alone the bearings that had a lack of oil.
