2000 Ranger bushing kit and I must have bumped it into a gear during disassembly. Closed it up and NO shift locked in position. Back apart and was able to achieve the position you highlighted and reassembled. Test drive was weird. After more than a year of sloppy ass shifting, the “H” pattern is about the size of a playing card ! A much needed video with the clarity and narration needed to understand and accomplish the repair.
Best visual and explaination video on this problem I've found so far... However, mine doesn't look like his. Still looking for a video that shows me how to make mine look like this one.
My lever got stuck all the way in 2nd gear. I took the shifter off and saw that one of those round spring loaded domes was pressed all the way down. I tried to fiddle with it with a screwdriver to get it loose but the dome seems to be stuck. I’d hate to drop the whole transmission just to repair, it what would you suggest on getting it unstuck?
No. I had my top off because I was working on it, and replaced all those the gaskets and the clutch. The only way this method will fix your issue, is if you took the shifter itself off (like to replace the bushings), and put it back in, and then it was stuck in gear. Simply pull the shifter off (three bolts and the shifter stick), use a long screw driver, and shift all the forks so they all line up, and when you put the stick back in, make sure it falls into the center row, like I showed in the video, and it will be fixed. If the transmission was working fine, then all of a sudden one day it was stuck, this is not your issue
@@MVP11489 no I was pulling the stick off the top of the trans mission and I pulled the stick out of the transmission while it was in gear and now I can’t get it out of gear
@@chandlerstuart1702 oh gotcha. So yep, just gotta pull the stick back out, not the top plate, center all three shift forks like on the video, with a screw driver or something, slap the stick back in the center and you should be all good to go 👍
No you can do it from the top where the shifter goes in . Take a flat head and most of the time you can get the pieces to act right. If they act stupid jack the rear end up so your tires are off the ground and that should do it
Does anybody I have any idea I have a 1995 lowboy dump truck with a five speed manual transmission for some reason it is stuck in reverse and I have leaned hard on the shifter the clutch is working fine and I cannot get the truck out of reverse tommyfl59@yahoo.com
If you have not taken it apart recently, and it just all of a sudden got stuck, there is most likely some sort of internal issue. Could be something as simple as a snapped roll pin, could be a broken fork or slider. Could be a lot of things really. The issue I showed in my video is if you removed the shifter for whatever issue, and put it back in the wrong position.
Thank you so much for this video! I have a 2011 Ford Ranger stick shift anyway tried to take the stick off quicker by using a hammer to tap the setscrew then when I put it back together it was like stuck in third or fifth if it wasn’t for your video I almost would’ve had to take it to a shop or something thanks again man!!
Looked around for a while before I found this relevant information. Thanks for a well lit view of neutral position. I hope I never have to do that again.
Oh man. Really early. Season 1 or 2. Came out a few days after I posted this video. I was able to get episodes before they aired, hence the message at the bottom of the screen.
I have a Mg Magnette which seems to stuck in a gear. when I start the car in neutral the car jerks forward, therefore even though my shifter says its in neutral I don't think it is. Would you be able to help me?
That's why I worked von it in the first place the shifter went all the way down when in second gear I thought replacing the bushings and all with the kit would solve it
I'm asking if the problem happened randomly, or did you do some work to the trans, put it back together and then had this problem. If the latter, then you must have misaligned something. If the first thing, then it sounds like something broke. If the shifter goes down, as in shift into second and the shifter keeps going (like about to hit the seats) then the top of the shift fork may have broken as that is one of the only possibility I can think of that would allow all the other gears to still work. I'm not an expert by any means, just the only thing I can think of. I'd pull that top cover off and see what's going on
@@MVP11489 thanks it was like that before I took the cover off to replace the shifter rebuild kit the part of the shifter that goes into the transmission looks ok but I will take it out again and maybe go to the store and compare to another one. Again I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU TAKING YOUR TIME TO REPLY. GOOD TO KNOW WE STILL HAVE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD THAT WILL HELP OUT A STRANGER. IM A ELECTRICIAN IF YOU EVER HAVE A PROBLEM LEAVE A MESSAGE AND ILL BE GLAD TO HELP YOU lukemareengo@gmail.com ANYTIME
@@enlightenedwarrior7119 thanks man, I really appreciate it. I'm actually planning on uploading alot more videos. Just sort of a general, quick tips and tricks, some of which will involve my f150. I'm going for a sort of quick goonzsquad/ chris fix sort of vibe. I've got a 1080p 60fps camera, I'm a wiz at editing. I'd appreciate it if ya subscribe :) If not, I understand. I appreciate the kind words tho, and I may just take you up on that offer :) there are some electrical projects I'll be taking on soon. Thanks 🙂
@@enlightenedwarrior7119 thanks :) Hopefully it's nothing major. Feel free to take a video and upload it, I might be able to help out better if I can see what's going on. Can probably get you a part number of the parts to fix it if so. Good luck!
@@MVP11489 no work on it before but I just put one those shifter rebuild kits on. And when I put it in second the shifter goes way down and won't come out of second all other gears work fine. I put it back together without it being in neutral and saw a video and put it in neutral with a screw driver. I'm working on from inside the truck. BTW. I REALLY REALLY THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO COMMENT BACK TO ME. GOD BLESS THANKS ALOT SIR
Oh cool! Would you mine taking some pics and emailing them to me? Curious to see the differences across the different years/ models. Do you know what year yours is? My email is mvp114 *at* charter *dot* net. Dont want the bots to get my email lol
EunChan Park thanks :). Figuring out how to make the IR sensor and tone work together took over a week's worth of researching to figure out. Had to edit the library itself since both wanted to use pin 9 lol. And I'm rusty as hell with C++ language haha. Was going to also put an MP3 shield and SD card driver, but I simply don't have the room in this particular project :( Ill be sure to post up the finished product once I'm done :)
Michael Haworth Do you own one? I've never seen another one, and ive only ever found one other that was one of those u haul truck looking campers (class b or c, I forget which). This one had been sitting for over 20 years on one spot, and about 10 years before that in another spot. Roof had collapsed about 10 years in, so you can imagine how bad the interior was. But even still, I was surprised how well the walls and parts of the floor were still intact and very well built. I still have the frame, ive made it into a flatbed trailer. I may one day rebuild it as I have the original schematics for it, shows every dimension and detail.
Do you ever think maybe I'll take my foot off the accelerator just a tiny bit instead of trying to pass someone who you're not any faster than really no respect for others safety all you can think about is getting the head that one more vehicle they should take your license away idiot
Sam Malmberg lol, this is hilarious at how you think you're bothering me 😂. Keep wasting your day posting comments :D You're making this incredibly easy :)

he's one of those guys that have to pass when his truck goes 1 mph quicker. And expects everyone to get out of his way because he's a big shot and more important than everyone else
