Hi There

Ive just got a question about my trans on my 96 b4000 manual 4x4

Basicly all other gears shift fine, but when you put it into 5th/OD theres just nothing, no crunching or anything, as if its completely disconnected. it will just act like its in neutral

Just seeing if anyone knows what this is?

Worth noting that this is a beater truck, and its more of mild annoyance that I gotta drive in 4th on the highway more than anything, so if its expensive I will probably just leave it.

Just thought Id see if its anything simple.

Thanks for looking!

Possibly an issue in the shift plate, but that would likely take out R as well.

There are a few things that could go wrong that can take out just fifth in the trans as well. 5th gear is not in the main case, it is in the rear section of the trans, and can be accessed and worked on, albeit with some difficulty, with the trans in the vehicle, you just need to pop the t-case and extension housing off.
