I was talking to a guy at the local standard transmission rebuild
shop. He, and I, believe that the snap ring at the back has come
loose. He was showing me that this snap ring is also a shim, with
several different thicknesses to control the end play of the 5th gear.
He was also showing me how to get to it without removing the whole
thing from the Jeep. He also told me not to tow anything larger than
a jet ski. I've never had more than one motorcycle on my trailer, and
mostly stay out of 5th(due to where I live)while I'm towing...so I
really don't think that's much of a factor...my bet's on the 140k
miles the thing had on it before I bought it. I guess if I want to
move the bikes somewhere from now on I'll use the wife's Jeep...it's
got a 6 cyl and the bigger trans. Or I could ride 'em<g>.
The roof on my shop should be done today, judjing by the progress they
made yesterday, so tonight I will get it up on stands and begin the
repair process. Oh well, I had a leak under there I was going to get
around to fixinig...I guess now's the time.

Re: WTF happened to 5th gear?
When my Honda blew 5th gear, the shop guy said pretty much the same thing.
The gear cluster was actually outside the case of the trans under a stamped
steel cover. The trouble was the gear was worn smooth, and the teeth were
inside the trans. Sorry for the bad news, hope your troubles turn ouot to
not be as bad as mine, but they problably will be.
You have the Peugot trans, and it sucks. It is not worth repairing, really.
Now is the time to swap out some parts and make it better.

Yeah, if I hadn't spent every spare cent I had on my new shop, I might
upgrade...as it is, at least I have a nice building, with a concrete
floor to lay on while I repair what I've got. If I ever get to it.
We've been having a heat wave down here, and by the time I spend 9
hours working in a 100 degree dealership shop, then 90 minutes on the
bike riding home, when I hit the front door and the 72 degree house,
all I want to do is take a shower and down a beer or two. After that,
who wants to go out and work on some old greasy, broken Jeep? Oh
well, I'll be OK as long as the rain holds off<g>.

Yeah, if I hadn't spent every spare cent I had on my new shop, I might
upgrade...as it is, at least I have a nice building, with a concrete
floor to lay on while I repair what I've got. If I ever get to it.
We've been having a heat wave down here, and by the time I spend 9
hours working in a 100 degree dealership shop, then 90 minutes on the
bike riding home, when I hit the front door and the 72 degree house,
all I want to do is take a shower and down a beer or two. After that,
who wants to go out and work on some old greasy, broken Jeep? Oh
well, I'll be OK as long as the rain holds off<g>.

Heh! I blew the BA 10/5 in mine and it was cheaper to buy a rebuilt
AX15 with all the necessary pieces to do the swap than it was to
rebuild that Puegot POS.
I can relate to the temp thing, tho. Blew an alternator the other day
passing through Salina, KS with 95+ on the thermometer and decided to
let a local mechanic earn his pay rather than crawling under in that
temp!
