nv 4500 transmission problems
 

My 5 speed transmission in my 98 dodge wont go into gear I can force into 5th but it wont go into any other gear including reverse I thought it was a bent shift fork but after replacing that it still does the same thing

check clutch hydraulics ..If truck tries to move while trying to select a gear its poss. your clutch is dragging may also try to select a gear without engine running to verify just my thoughts.

Well I was thinking it may be something with the clutch also but when I force it into fifth with the clutch applied it will sit there like its supposed to and when I let the clutch out it will take off well try to anyway since fifth is a bit high Haha so I don't believe it's the clutch system

with the truck turned off sitting on level ground, will it go in and out of the other gears?

No it wont go in any gear but 5th wheather the truck is on or off.. and it is hard to get it in fifth

then the trans needs to be pulled and inspected

X2 Sorry bud :argh:

Does the Dodges have a removable floor board in them? If so could the top plat be take off the trans? It sound like you have a snifter rod not returning back to its correct position to me.

you can not take the top plate off the trans while its in the truck

The fifth gear on the counter shaft had two teeth snapped off and a tooth found its way underneath the fifth gear shifting fork not allowing it to shift ha the gear replaced and got it all back together tonight goes in all the gears nice and smooth however blew a line my cluch hydrolics so she is still sitting lol
