Jackrabbit41 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 So, i used to be able to go into 2nd gear from mid first gear (i don't have a rpm gauge so i don't know what rams I'm at) but now when i do it (it started doing this 2 days ago) it almost dies. Its like its about to stall. I have to redline through 1st and then shift into 2nd for it not to almost bog down and die. This only happens in second. Why? 1987 manual 5 speed 4.0l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Sounds like you're skipping second and going into fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfrog Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Possibly the end of another BA10/5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit41 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 I'm not skipping 2nd, i know how to drive. and whats BA10/5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 BA10/5 is the transmission you have. It was used with the 4.0 from 87-mid 89. It's known for being very weak and is often swapped for an AX-15, which was used mid 89+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 BA10/5 is the Peugeot 5spd manual transmission used up to mid 89. the one I swapped to an AX-15 from because the input shaft bearing was going bad on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I didn't really mean you were doing it on purpose. Just seems like that is what's happening going by your description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 One issue the BA10/5 tends to have as they go out is selecting 2 gears at once, or selecting the wrong gear (in this case 4th as dasbulliwagen stated).There is a reason the AX-15 swap is popular and very common.

Jackrabbit41 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 It turns out that my train horn tank was hitting my coil wire and was breaking the circuit. 90$ for the, damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Better $90 than $900+ for some major driveline work. Glad you figured it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
