I'll make it short, when i drive slowly in 1st gear to around 3000 rpms, i press the clutch all the way down, the shifter wont come out of first, feels like the when you try to pull the car out of gear with your foot still on the gas and clutch all the way up, the clutch does put it into neutral i feel that, just the stick wont come out...the only way to get it out is i found if you blip the throttle to around 2500-3000 rpms and it just seems to fall out easy without force. If i drive normal or hard it works fine, but in traffic when im sort of creepin in 1st for a while, ill get stuck and before i found of the blip throttle trick id have to pull over and jiggly it for a while. Only happens when driving, in neutral sitting still no problems. This started happening right after transmission fluid change, even though this used to happen randomly, now i can 80% make it happen on purpose. (used penzoil syncromesh and yes the fluid is full, not over full)
ive cleaned and WD-40'd the inside shifter by taking apart the consol, ive had a friend go from 1st to neutral repeatedly while i watch the shift cables on the transmission, nothing is blocking or touching them.
It's a 1995 2.2 Ohv isuzu manual with 103k miles (stock clutch but still feels ok)
Oh and this only happens in 1st, ive tried in all over gears
..thanks
Synchro is shot for first gear...
Trans needs to come out. If it was a clutch issue you would have problems in all gears, if it was a cable issue you would notice problems in other gears, (likely 3rd and 5th)
The backcut on the syncho hub and speed gear has been worn too far and the rev matching your doing by revving the engine while shifting is matching speeds and allowing the hub to disengage from the speed gear.

Correct me if i'm wrong but does 1st and reverse not have syncros? the only way for me not to grind reverse is to make a full stop, go to 1st gear then reverse and it goes in fine....maybe that's all manual transmissions i dont know, i dont know anything about internals of them.....but oh well, it's only 1st gear, if i drive it normal i have no problems, only when i creep up the rpms in it slowly
I believe reverse in the isuzu is non synchronized...
Maybe someone who knows more about the isuzu can chime in on that.
If reverse is non synchronized, then the procedure of going to first, then to reverse is correct.. A little grind is typical for non synchro'ed reverse.

you are correct just finishing putting one back together. first IS synchronized and reverse is not

Since you just built one, how hard is it to replace the 1st gear synchro? IM decently mechanically inclined, ill be dropping it one of these days to replace the clutch, i just dont know much about transmissions at all.
ALSO, ive read somewhere that with the isuzus when you replace the clutch you need to check the slave cyl(i think that's what its called)....how do you check it? and if it' bad how hard is it to replace?
