I need an expert
Ok I have some issues with my 97 Dakota 4x4 5 speed. Heres the deal sometimes I cant get it in or out of gear while the truck is running. If its off I can shift throught the gears just fine. Then again sometimes if it gets hard to shift if I put it in neutral and pump the clutch or just shut it off and restart it it will shift just fine again. But now its sitting in my parking lot and the only way it will go into 1st 2nd or reverse is while the truck is not running, will go into 3rd 4th and 5th with a little effort. If you try 1st or 2nd while its running it just wont go and if you try reverse it just grinds. Ive had several people look at it including my local dodge dealer and everyone says they dont know they havent seen that before. Now you guys on here have probably heard every problem a dodge has ever had, so I really am hping that someone can help me cause at this point my baby may have to go as its supposed to be my daily driver...well when it chooses tobe anyway.

I'm going to guess either the hydraulic system needs replacing (it can't be serviced... no bleed valve), or the syncros are on their way out. Is your truck a v6 or v8? I ask cause you either have the AX-15 or the NV3500. If its the NV3500 and the syncros are going out, start looking for a transmission cause most shops won't touch them.

actually theres also the nv1500
if im not mistaken the ax15 is only behind the 4cylinder
i can service my hyro system
and if you cant get a trans shop to repair a trans with syncros, you're not looking hard enough thats why there are trans specific shops and thats why they're so expensive

And I can service my hydo assembly also, but it isn't designed to... just takes a little innovation that I don't want to get into. Unless they changed them for gen 2 also, they aren't designed to be bled, cause they have no bleed valve.
