Getting the Wheeling Fever
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to fix this or does it mean I need a new trans. When I shift to 5th gear it will go all the like it is supposed to but it will only slightly touch the gear and if I apply more gas is will start grinding. Also I have to hold it to keep it into the 5th gear position.
Thanks
Frankie

Help me getting worse gas mileage due to not being able to shift to fifth.

Check the shifter boot, pull it out and see if shifter stays put. Do you have a bodylift? May need to bend the shifter. If that is not the cure, the problem is mechanical. Try a tranny shop or search www.car-part.com for a replacement.

Check the fluid levels (FIRST), then drain the fluids and tell us what you find.

Most likely, you are looking at a rebuild. 5th goes, 4th will follow and it will soon die.

Rebuilds are a pain. You will be hard pressed to find someone who has even seen the inside of an Isuzu transmission. One from a salvage yard is probably your best bet.

Good Luck,
Michael

I have checked the boot. And yes I have a body lift. The boot is not holding it and the floor has been modifed so the shifter does not touch it. The fluild levels are good. I was planning on doing the trans from a salvage yard but there is only one I can find and Im not sure if it is good or bad or even man. I just called and they said they had one there. Is there any other year or truck/SUV that I can get it from that is the same?
Thanks

If you have the 4cyl, the trans from a 1st gen Amigo or 2.3/2.6 Trooper will work as well.
