Manual trans won't go into 2nd, 4th, or reverse Ned help!

[Tylereaton94]

I have a 1990 pathfinder 5 speed 4wd and I want outside to move and it won't go into 2, 4, or reverse have no idea what's wrong can anyone help please

So, all the gears you have to pull back for...

 

The shifter sits in a plastic guide IIRC which can be worn/damaged. If it is, it might not be allowing enough throw to engage those gears.

 

Go to the Garage section and down load a 1994 FSM from the pinned thread, then look in the MT section for an exploded view to see. I'm guessing that removing the shifter, looking and a trip to the junkyard will get you back on the road.

The only gears I have are 1st 3rd and 5th and I took the shifter off and looked in there and I couldn't see anything

[Precise1]

Yes, I understand that, but you probably have to take the piece out to examine it. I know this has been discussed in a thread here...

Have you looked at the exploded view?

It's more than likely the clutch plate is ssssnafooed.

No, if clutch was bad either, wouldn't go in any gear or wouldn't move when it was in gear. Sounds like the secondary shaft in tranny is broken or you lost final drive gear.

 

When you say won't go in gear it won't go into position or it goes into position but won't move?
