I have a 1998 jeep cherokee sport 5speed manuel my jeep is having trubble shifting it will not go into Reverse at all it will some times shift if i get lucky. when its cold it will shift a little the cluch gos all the way to the floor.

Just looking for some in put on how i should go about this.

I would park on a steep downhill street somewhere and kill the engine.. With your foot on the brake, put it in 1st (it will shift into gear with the engine off and just sitting there, yes? if not, let off the brake just a little so it slips in gear) Now in gear, let off the brake.. engine compression should prevent it from rolling. Now push the clutch pedal down. Does it disengage enough to let it roll? If not, i'd say one of the clutch cylinders is the problem. Look for leaks, make sure it has enough fluid, maybe it can be bled, maybe the mount broke, I dunno, that's what i'd try.

I just dont get it there is a little tick sound when u push the cluch down. It shifts just hella hard and some times it wont shift at all.
