getrag problems

[Dodgecrawler2011]

92 5 speed 4x4. Tranny has typical finesse to find gears. But after a long drive in 5th empty. Its hard almost impossible to find any gear. Also in second at a low speed and very little throttle something is very clunky idk if its in t case or tranny.

[PToombs]

Is it full of oil? Or overfull? These trannys live longer if they are 1 qt over factory full. It sounds like the bearings are getting loose. Pull the PTO covers and see if there is any end play in the shafts. If so, it may need a rebuild. By the time you realize it's loose it's usually too late and needs a rebuild.

This^
And maybe your top cover is screwy

[Dodgecrawler2011]

I was told by po he overfilled it witb full synthetic. But im goin to change here in a bit. And my top cover is screwy sometimes. 95% of the time it shifts like butter

[Dodgecrawler2011]

I been having more problems still and beem looking around seems like the alignment screws could be wore out? Does this sound right. 5 th is only gear it does in. Shifter acts like its in neutral but tranny is Still in 5 th u gota try and wiggle it around in the 5th and reverse area. And it feels good again until you put in back in 5 th

[ellis93]

Could be the pins,one way to know for sure is to pull the shifted stub and look at them. Also pay attention to the end of the stub,make sure its not worn off.

[Dodgecrawler2011]

Is there pose to be nylon on the end of the stub? It dont loom real bad. And the po had bit a different top plate on it. Idk if he was old or if it was a rebuilt one im not sure

[ellis93]

All I've seen is steel on the end,kind of a flat blade screw driver end.

[Dodgecrawler2011]

So how can I tell if its wore out then. Is there a thickness it should be

[ellis93]

Pull it and snap a pic,several of us should be able to tell. Plus you'll see signs of wear on it,maybe a step worn on it thats not suppose to be there....that kinda thing

[Dodgecrawler2011]

Ok ill see what I can do. Also I seen on ebay a shifter stub that comes with the screws and all that amd comes with 2 c clips? Mine only has one. Should there be two?

[Mark Nixon]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's time to do bearings, syncros and an input, at LEAST.
You may get into needing forks and rail bushings, too.

There's only 1 C-clip to hold the shifter in.

That seller on Ebay is a screwball.
He has the early 1992-1993 Dodge GAS NV4500 shifter stubs listed as fitting the '94-'97 trucks and he is dead wrong, but he'll find out soon enough when he gets bad feedback for selling people the wrong part.

Heres a picture that would actually work

[redneckmtrsprts]
