If the gear shifter is not in the correct position and "wobbles" it is likely not engaging properly to move the rods to adjust a lever on the transmission to place it in gear. You will need to remove the console parts around the shifter and see if a plastic "slide" between the rods has become worn/useless.. Your car may be easy to find at a pick 'n pull or "upullit" salvage yard and you can swap out this part after disconnecting the clips that hold everything in place.

SOURCE: manual transmission shifter will not engage

Sounds to me that the shifter broke, i believe the shifter has a ball end that slips into a pocket in trans. that moves for gear selection and that ball brook off end of shifter. if its got a linkage set up most likely samething either shifting arms came off or shifter broke where linkage rods connect.

SOURCE: 1988 ford f150 5 speed sloppy shifter hard to find

You most likely have a broken "Detent Spring", usually located in the top
shifter cover of the transmission. Pull up the carpet, revealing the cover
on the floorboards. Take that off, slide it up the lever, to see the top cover of
the trans. If you can see the bolts that hold it on, clean off the dirt so it
won't fall inside, and remove it. The spring is usually located in the cover.
This all depends....on the type of tranny.

SOURCE: 95 saturn sl 2 5 speed manual transmission, clutch

This vehicle has a pair of shift cables which attatches to the shifter and runs to the transmission shift housing.To diagnose,removal of the center console is in order so you can inspect and verify the shifter/cable connections and movement,then verify the cables move the linkages properly at the transmission . These cables are a fairly common failed part and sold as the set,these are a dealer item and no aftermarket cables are available .

SOURCE: 1994 FORD RANGER STANDARD TRANS CLUTCH WON'T ENGAGE

The only adjustment you'll probably need is to get the air out of the clutch line. Loosen the bleeder screw, and put a two or three foot vacuum line on it. Submerse the other end of the line in a bottle of brake fluid. Pump the clutch untill no more bubbles are coming out of the hose into the bottle. Be sure to keep the reservoir topped up while you do this. Hold the clutch down, and tighten the bleeder screw. Some hydraulic clutches do have an adjustment on the rod that goes from the slave cyllinder to the pressure plate. I'm not sure about yours. If there is a nut on the rod, you can adjust it somewhat. You want it set so that there is just a little bit of play between the rod and the pressure plate where the rod goes. If none of this helps, you mayneed to replace the slave cyllinder.

My ford bantam 1300 doesn't want to select 3rd gear

this manual transmission?
seems. so
the tip of shift levers love to get worn and not allowing the shift rail forks to hit 3rd gear.
a pure simple mechanical failure and is shifter tip end parts bad, some are even made of plastic.
or
3rd gear synchro- ring is super worn out and the main clutch drags. (seen it and fixed them)
if clutch has master cylinder is the fluid always at top line or drops in time every weak.

I was deriving my 88own ford ranger when the line for the hydraulic clutch poped out from the tranny so i shut it off put it in to first gear started it in gear and drove it home with no clutch now its in...

i think this will work, with the clutch perminantly engaged it is difficult to disengage gears, fixing the clutch should make gear chaging better.

Car starts no problem, goes into gear easily but when I let the clutch out on my 95 avenger 2.0L it does not engage. So I could leaving it running in gear and nothing happens. Need some help guys

You need to determine if the clutch is engaged or not.If it is,then the clutch needs replacing,had it been slipping,before? if so this is more than likely the problem,if not then ,possible the shifter is not engaging the forks in the transmission.You would have to remove the shifter from the transmission to see if that is the case.

Shifter plymouth

Look on the backside of the transmission where the cables attach. If both of them are still connected than they have dislodged at the shifter under the center council. You can have a helper move the shifter while looking at the transmission to see if they move.

HOW DOES THE GEAR SHIFTER ON A 1980 LANCIA BETA 2DOOR COUPE ZAGATA CONNECT TO THE CLUTCH

The gear shifter doesn't connect to the clutch, the clutch pedal and clutch release fork connect to the clutch. The shift linkage connects to the transmission through a 3 part lever with 2 adjustment points.

Not sure if shifter is installed properly

Ok, I guess its going to be a not too obvious solution then. All we have to do is find it...
1.What type of gear shifter is in your truck. Column or tower
2. Is the tail shaft turning when you try to move the vehicle
3. Does the vehicle try to move at all
4. Is there any noise from the gearbox or clutch area
5. Are you certain the clutch kit was the right one
6. Did you try the clutch plate on the gearbox input shaft spline
7. Is the release bearing clear of the pressure plate fingers.
8. Does the release bearing carrier slide freely on the retainer on the front of the bearbox, and did you apply lubricant here.

95 pontiac transmission not engaging drives

could have stripped the shifter linkage best to know is to take it to tranny shop not something you would want to handle by yourself especially if you have never done it before.
