Reply With QuoteHi,
I have a 1984 5 speed transmission ( manual ) that slips out of 5th gear
only. Does anyone know what would cause this and how to fix it ?
Thanks

Slips out of gear
Hello
,
I need some advice on my 1984 Nissan with 215k miles on it - runs like a
charm
EXCEPT that it will slip out of fifth gear unless it is manually
held. I had a aftermarket cruise control put on it - could that have hurt it
? I used the cruise in 5th gear ( maybe that was a bad move ). What effect
do cruise controls have on the car - are they good or bad ?.
How can I fix the 5th gear problem - all other gears work fine. Can a
invidual correct this if so how can I learn how to fix it ?.
THANKS
Michael

Internal trans problems is the most likely problem (a worn out shift sleave
and/or fork) The cruise comntrol has nothing to do with this.
Don't hold it in gear to keep it there as that will just tear up more stuff.

Fifth gear synchromesh is shot. You're looking at close to a $1000 repair.

Sorry it wasn't something easier (or cheaper). I had blown mine in a
1985 Pulsar back in 1993. It cost $800 at AAMCO then, but I did have
them renew the clutch parts as long as they had the tranny out.

Re: Slips out of gear
This guy probably has it right - I had the same problem "way back when" on a
high mileage and slightly abused '57 Chevy - and transmissisions are still
transimissions.
