Hi Guys.

My 1400 ute, 2003 Model, 5 speed tranny is screwed up.

After having a few too many beers and wheel spinning. My tranny now started to select into all the wrong gears, despite showing that its in the right gear position.
Sometimes she doesnt want to get out of a gear. She also at times doesnt let go of clutch when in gear. This is weird. I have taken out the tranny today, but unfortunately not taken off the clutch/pressure plates off yet.

What could be wrong. Is there a selector pin/gear etc. within the tranny that is probably damaged.

What do i look for. How do I probably resolve.

Please help guys. Pics appreciated as well.

Levey is the resident tranny expert

I'm sure he'll jump on it soon enough

Hey Levey.... where arth thou

Sorry mate, I have never messed with the internals of a gearbox. As for trannys....Yucko!

Send me a PM with an email addy and I will send you the 60A 5spd manual if you want..

Thanks ssskiwi. Just PM'd you. I'm gonna take a shot at stripping the tranny and sorting it out myself. My first attempt on opening a tranny.... How hard could it be..LOL

This is off the rivergate site, Its the complete 5 speed factory manual & quite useful. I've got 2 copies, one really dirty from going thru my 60A

If you search my posts you'll find a pic somewhere regarding my trans rebuild & there's a picture of my layout of the trans on a table. I wouldn't discourage you but this isn't a job for the faint of heart & organization of the trans breakdown is crucial to success.

Go slow & take LOTS of pictures, you'll be amazed how much you stare at them when putting it back together!

Have fun & good luck!

here's the post with the pic's of my trans laid out in pieces....

how did i know levey would be in this thread somehow- he might select all the wrong gears but levey knows how to flick all the right switches to turn trannys on!
