Help truck isn't going into gear and when I let the clutch out it does?
I have a 2001 standard Ford ranger. I barely had a new clutch put in last year. But anyway I was going down highway in 5th gear and as I was going to put it in neutral it made a loud popping noise and then died. So I went to the side of the road and tried starting it, nothing. It starts up fine but the minute I let off the clutch it dies and when I try to shift it into 1 3 or 5 it feels like some thing is blocking it it'll act like it goes into 2 an 3 but it doesn't engage.
It is likely the transmission has seized. When was the last time the gear oil was serviced? Get it towed to a mechanic and get the transmission looked at.
Time to buy a new car.
It's broken
I would like to think the concentric slave cylinder (CSC, a common trouble point in Rangers) was replaced when the clutch was. That is not likely the problem but it is a concern.
In any case, it is time to tow it to a transmission specialist. I'm pretty sure Anonymous is right - something is awry in the gearbox.
You have transmission trouble my friend. It sounds like you have more than one gear engaged at the same time. If the vehicle starts with the clutch depressed (pedal pushed to the floor) but the engine dies when you let the clutch pedal up, the transmission is locked and must be repaired.
Your transmission went to crunched parts or the rear differential, one of the two. Pull the driveshaft off and check the gear box and rear differential for lockup. Your description is most likely the rear differential pinon gear bearing, only a hands and eyes on inspection can tell the truth.
Could be a broken transmission shaft. Open up the pan and see what falls out.
- I have a 2000 ford Taurus station and can't put it into gear.why can't I put it into gear? I have a 2000 ford Taurus station and can't put it into gear. Why can't I put it into gear?
- Stocks fall on trade news, weak jobs report. Ford recalls trucks, SUVs over gear indicator. How's Trump going to try and spin this? Stocks fall because of his tariffs threat to China. He's not creating jobs like he claimed he would. Deregulation only hurts the consumers.
- Why my cars gear stick popping out from 1st to 3rd gear, from 2nd to 4th? The car is Ford Focus 2002 1.8tdci. Poppong out from 1st gear to 3rd and from 2nd to 4th. Reverse works fine, I'm able to start to drive car from 3rd gear with balancing clutch and acceleration. No strange noises thou.
- Ford Focus 1.8 TDDI was popping out of 5th gear now won't go into any gear! Is it Clutch or Gearbox? The car which is a 2002 was jumping out of 5th gear into neutral when travelling at 60mph. Now it won't go into any gear and I can only start the car with the clutch pedal pressed in and when I release the clutch pedal with the gear stick in neutral the car stalls. The gear stick will literally not go into any gear. I think I need to find a used gearbox and I think the clutch is fine. What do you think?
