Manual Transmission Problem
 

My 94 wrangler manual Trans does not engage 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th or
reverse. Only 4th. I can move the stick around with out the clutch
pressed and nothing no grinding nothing. It was on the highway coming
off the ramp. At the stop light nothing would engage or grind? It is
like and empty space? The Trans has almost 130K Last time it was
serviced it was 50 K old. I don't think it would be the clutch since
it works fine for 4th gear? Any one have any ideas?

If it is toasted is better to buy the same one new or get it rebuilt
or get a different kind with better gearing. I am running 33" with a 4
cycl engine.

Re: Manual Transmission Problem
 

Sounds like you have a bad trans. What happens if you turn off the engine,
put it in first gear, and let the clutch out? Putting the Jeep in 4lo, can
you start and stop in 4th gear?

You can try changing the oil, but I don't think it will do you much good. I
have heard of people swapping the ax5 (your trans) for the ax15 (6cyl trans)
but it is a rather large undertaking involving a lot of junkyard hunting and
custom fabbing. You can probably get a decent ax5 fairly cheap. Be sure you
replace the clutch while you're in there. I'm pretty sure the 94 has the
external slave, but if it doesn't replace it while you're at it.

You need to replace the shift lever bushing while pocking the lever back
into your fourth gear shift rod position:
