Car Forum / Jeep / March 2005Down shifting problem, need advice.
I have a problem only when I downshift from 4 to 1, 5 to 4 is fine. I have to slow down to a crawl before the gear will engane, there is some grinding. I heard it may be synchronizers, but it it was them wouln't I have an issue shifting from 1 to 5? Thnkz DOn't shift from 4 to 1...downshift in order 4-3-2-1. Why would you shift from 1 to 5?  SignatureHomeBrewer I was shorthanding... actually I meant 4-3-2-1 sequence..sorry for the confusion. I think you should shift directly to the gear marked R for racing.

Check your oil & clutch adjustment first. End float on the crankshaft can also give a shift problem like yours. >>ricepudding. Why would you even attempt to shift into 1 at any speed above 0 (zero)? You should be using 2nd if you are not going to bother coming to a full stop. Shift from 4 to 2 or 5 to 2 if you are going to do a rolling stop. > I have a problem only when I downshift from 4 to 1, 5 to 4 is fine.
