SOURCE: Tailegate Latch will not release

there should be an access panel on the inside of the tailgate that you can remove to find the fallen cable and get your gate open

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: 1994 GMC Sonoma - brakes went out - we have

Did the peddel go to the floor when the breaks went out before you replaced pads and lines? If it did than its the master cyl. If you replace the master cyl. yourself just remember you have to bench bleed it before you install it. The new master cyl. will come with instructions on how to do that. The calipers will not do what you discribed unless they have a major leak. Also after you install the new master cyl. chanses are all the breaks will have to be blead, starting with right rear, left rear, right front, left front. In that order.

2008 Astra sticks in 4th gear why?

There could be several reasons why a 2008 Astra may become stuck in 4th gear. Here are a few potential causes:

1. Transmission issues: A problem with the transmission itself, such as a damaged gear or a malfunctioning shift solenoid, can cause the vehicle to remain stuck in a particular gear.

2. Clutch problems: If there is a problem with the clutch system, such as a worn clutch disc or a faulty release bearing, it can prevent proper gear engagement and cause the vehicle to stay in 4th gear.

3. Shift linkage or cables: Issues with the shift linkage or cables that connect the gear shift lever to the transmission can result in difficulty changing gears, including becoming stuck in 4th gear.

4. Hydraulic issues: Problems with the hydraulic system, such as low fluid levels, leaks, or a malfunctioning clutch master or slave cylinder, can affect the proper operation of the clutch and transmission, potentially causing gear-related issues.

It is important to have a qualified mechanic inspect and diagnose the specific cause of the problem. They can perform a detailed diagnostic procedure, check for error codes in the vehicle's computer system, and conduct necessary tests to identify and resolve the issue with the 4th gear sticking.

Drive train locked up while driving in 5th gear. Vehicle would not move unless clutch was engaged will in neutral.

Hi Tom:
If you're lucky, a linkage has become disengaged. Trace from the gearshift to the transmission.
What happens to the gearshift lever when you try to shift?
If it won't move and the linkage is not disconnected, try to manually move the shift levers where they enter the trans.
Also if you have a custom shifter it is possible that a pin has slipped.
Have fun chasing this one.

1998 Saturn station wagon clutch would not go into gear until pedal was released and then re engaged

Check your clutch fluid....If its ok check you gear oil. It could be you release bearing going bad inside transmission..If so you might as well rebuild all of it.

I have fitted new clutch and pressure plates, (twice!) flywheel surfaced,new release and spiggot brgs, new master and slave cyl kits. Cannot engage gears with engine running, Stop engine, engage gear and...

Hi

It sounds like during installation one of 3 things could have happened.
1) The splines got messed up stabbing the transmission, or
2) the plate got bent itself or
3) the plate is in backwards
Also If you do have leaking on your master cylinder then that will be your problem obviously.
Your master cylinder is designed to compress DOT3 Fluid with one cylinder piston, against another cylinder piston which creates force against a clutch fork that presses your throw out bearing. Your TOB then presses against your clutches pressure plate, the pressure plate releases from the clutch disk which is transferring torque into transmission from your engine. Now you have gears within your transmission that are moving at two different speeds, and a synchronizer within your transmission slips onto teeth to match those two speeds and to lock the gears to a shaft and transfer your torque to an output shaft and then on wards towards your differential gear and thus to your wheels etc.

SO, if your clutch isnt being released enough to allow your synchronizers to lock onto the wanted gear, then its obviously not going to go into gear.
You could try and bleed it one more time but it sounds like the disc is hanging up and not allowing the transmission to spin freely. Either the clutch free play needs adjusting (non-hydraulic clutch) or the pressure plate is not stopping the flywheel and will need replaced. Try adjusting the pushrod between the pedal & master to give you more clutch travel.

Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.

How do I adjust the clutch? Clutch engages when

A high clutch pedal is good.
There should only be about a half inch of pedal freeplay, before you start to feel resistance.
So the clutch should not engage until it is almost fully released, near the top.
The makes shifting the easiest.

If the shifting is difficult when cold, then put the transmission in neutral and let the clutch out when you warm up the engine.
That will warm up the transmission oil.

Of course you could also check the transmission oil level and change it.
But your question makes me believe you may need more experience on a stick shift. Make sure you do the H pattern carefully, and do not get lazy and turn it into an X pattern.
