I have a '93 Isuzu Trooper LS 4X4 and recently it has started to feel
like the rear end slips out of gear as I accelerate. Especially if I'm
going around a corner or up an incline. I'm not sure it is the rear
end but that's what it feels like. If I take my foot off the gas it
seems to go right back into gear and once it warms up it doesn't seem
to do it as much, if at all. Does anyone know if this is an easy/
inexpensive fix? I know, there isn't anything a\that's easy or
inexpensive but I love this thing and I'm just trying to figure out
whether to keep it and fix it or sell it.

Thanks in advance
JRL

If an automatic, check the condition and level of the fluid. If it
smells like burnt toast, it is toast.

If it's a standard, suspect clutch problems.

Rear ends don't slip out of gear. If they do, its because the ring or
pinion gear broke, and they'll never go "back into gear" again.

Sounds exactly like an automatic transmission that is running way low on
fluid. If you're lucky, nothing has burned up yet. But a few more days
of driving it like that will remove any chance of being lucky....
