1993 Transmission by Cyrix11

I just picked up a 1993 Isuzu Rodeo, 4 wheel drive. It has a 5 speed manual transmission that is slipping. I would like to replace the clutch, but I am uncertain which transmission is in the Rodeo I purchased. Apparently, there are two different 5 speed tranny's for this year Rodeo. It is either the Mm5, or the Mau5c transmission. Does anyone know how to determine which transmission it is, without pulling it? So that I can be prepared when I drop this puppy?

As long as you are certain of the problem being the transsmission and not the clutch itself, it will depend on where you will be getting the replacement tranny. If it will be a dealer Item they will know it by following the VIN# codes. Matter of fact , you can try to ask an Isuzu(or possibly a GM dealer) dealer for the specs . If you are going to get it from the junk yard they will know it as well.
 
   Good Luck.

1999 Rodeo with Automatic Transmission by rodeodriver1

Hi!
 
I've had the Rodeo for nearly 10 years and love it. However, the trasmission is now not shifting smoothly. I assume low fluid or fluid that needs to be replaced.
 
The owner's manual says to replace the fluid every "X" miles. I asssume the dealership has been doing that...............I go to a Honda dealership because there is no Isuzu dealership where I live.
 
The vehicle now has 105K miles on it. I made an appointment for a tune-up and mentioned the transmission problem. When they gave me the keys back saying the work was done they also told me they didn't do the transmission because they don't have the tools. Now I'm assuming the fluid has never been checked or changed...........I'm just a bit on the pisturbed side wishing they had mentioned this 80K miles ago.
 
This has the transmission with no dipstick or easy-access filler port; basically, non-owner check and topoff/change.
 
The shop manual says there is a special tool, a thermometer, for checking the temp of the fluid and that the temp has to be in a certain range for the check to be done properly.
 
The shop manual goes on to say the car should be level and running!!!! So, this appears to be an issue that we can't do by jacking the car up!!!!!
 
Draining the fluid looks straight forward but then you have the filling problem. Again, the car needs to be level so jacking it up to get at the filler port is out of the question.
 
The Honda folks say they have a pump to do the job. I can see where that would be good because the funnel and long hose is going to make a big mess!
 
Any suggestions?
 
Has anyone taken their car to a transmission shop and been able to get the work done?
 
Thanks.
 
Rick

First things first; You shouldn't have to deal with the tranny. fluid unless it burns and 80000 mls for this vehicle sounds a little too soon. Your mechanic can tell you if it was. In any case the new mach.'s they use for fluid exchange empties and fills the unit one shot deal. I would strongly recomend you to let the pro.'s to handler this since you are so worried with the the "level" of the vehicle.
  Good Luck

Alittle Help Please by d82006

I hope this makes sense.
Well, I own a 98 rodeo, great little SUV. I have two little problems - First, I has happened for the past two summers, in the heat. The shifting into 3rd grear and out is rough. This is an intermittant problem. Last year I took it in to a garage(national chain) and they had it for two days, no issues nor did the computer find any error messages(what they told me). So they charged me nothing and told me to wait for it to happen again. All winter long it is OK, but in the heat I notice that the light indicator does not always match the Shifter (auto trans) or it is delayed, ex- if it is in Drive the light might read neutral for a few seconds before it hits drive.
Anyway, could it be some kind of electrical thing that happen only in the heat? some conection expands and does not make contact (something like that?)
Issue number two will be for later...........
 
Thanks for any help you can give me..........

98 rodeo transmission reverse lights by rmanning500

Ok I have a manual transmission rodeo. My problem is the reverse lights do not come on in reverse. Instead the reverse lights come on in first gear. It is a nice feature to have to keep people from tailgating but I would also like to see where I am backing up. I am thinking it must be a position switch somewhere on the transmission. But where?
