It started about a month ago. driving through downtown with the Transmission in first, the darn thing would pop out of gear. Not always, but noticeably enough to be of concern. Fluid levels in the Transfer Case and Transmission were perfect. Clutch linkage was intact and functioning as designed. This was followed by an incident where, when parked on an incline in first gear, it didn't hold while I was putting the e brake on. Finally, two days ago, it became hard to shift into reverse, to any gear, to when I shifted into neutral at a stop light wouldn't shift into any gear. Blocked out of all gears unless I shut it off. Now, I know that there are a ton of reasons and fixes that could get this T-5 Transmission back up and running. This is the second time in ten years that I have been let down by this weak a## Transmission and I'm just not gonna mess with it. Today I ordered an AX15, with all of the needed additional parts, from Novak Conversions. Arrives next week. The Mrs. is happy too. A great day! I'll have to get the drive shaft re-tubed but darn, goodbye T-5
