Question edited for clarity, written English, typos and abbreviations Question moved to model category. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isuzu_Rodeo Look like the design change was later, but 1998 might be iffy unless your 1998 was made in 1997. Isuzu North America also offered a three-door version under the name Isuzu Amigo, sold as the Isuzu MU in Japan. A second generation of the SUV was released in 1998 for the 1998 model year, with the three-door Amigo becoming the "Rodeo Sport" in 2000 for the 2001 model year.

Low compression

Is the heater core hot? It could be clogged.. remove the two hoses to it and run water through it in both directions to flush it out. There's also a valve that needs to open to allow water flow through the heater core.

You need to have the brakes bled. Most likely you have a leak in the brake system or it would not be low.

Easy way to check plugs wires while driving, get 4 or 6 small neon lamps depending on how many cylinders,the neon lamps used in appliances to show they are on are good NOT LEDs. Remove resistors from neon and connect one side of neon lamps together and earth to body, take other side of each lamp and solder long single telephonr wire and wind about 10 turns around each plug wire insulation a little way from plug leave end of this wire disconnected. make sure the end of wire does not earth anywhere on body leave unconnected. the high voltage going through plug wire will induce enough voltage to fire neon and show plug works if one neon does not flicker as plug fires it the bad one. This will only show electrical misfire not injector problem. The best time to do this test is at night neons will flicker bright at night. As a mechanic how to check injector and injector voltage.

run the fault codes and check for problem idle control sensor 500 rpms are too slow for idle should be around 850 for automatic also have the voltage regulator /alternator checked as the problem is not enough voltage ti run the car and the ac because the available voltage isn't high enough

measure it.measure the place if fits, match it. it's metric, not imperial inches.or call isuzu.or find a mechanic, he will do the measure and fit it.all ASE mechanics can to this blind folded.my guess 8mm.I can not teach you how to measure things.I uses 2 tools.a caliperand thread pitch gauge.(or from a box of old metric bolts, trial and error way)

why double post and not add info???? like engine size ? 4wd? and trans model.? best i can tell your trans has no TCM. so is true hyrdamatic. (no computer brain shifts) so needs many tests first. to find why it will not upshift to 3rd. governer? be on top of list. as is stuck TV cable or leaking vacuum modulator valve. if it has one. if you have this trans. on the big V6 then 4L30-E. see that E on the end, it is TCM shifted. the trans has a side plate that anyone can read, tells you what is there. here is the wiki on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_4L30-E_transmission read that? see the 2 solenoids 425/435? if yes, that is TCM shifted box, and must be scanned or do the FSM book, TCM flash codes, the book tell you who to do that. \ http://www.makcotransmissionparts.com/mm5/graphics/Catalog-pdf/4L30E.pdf this is a TCM brain auto shifted box, and must be scanned first if the trans slips, that is a WHOLE OTHER MATTER.

auto trans no less.. it shifts no you. so what trans is there? so reverse works, 1 gear, then 2nd , but not 3rd. some have a TCM that does the auto shifts. and must be scanned to see why it wont shift. levels ok, that be like first first. done not like engine, ever. do it correctly. The TCM may have flash codes, the FSM factory serv. man. covers this, as does mitchells.but it will ask you what engine you have, and which trans is car 4wd? first know your drive train then ask.

Transmission needs rebuild

What part, it is replaced in pieces not the whole thing.

jump out of vehicle or be ejected! dangerous condition

the word HOW , means, (and install) does that mean its out now.? or is the question , how to get to it and replace it? all steps, every single step or just where is it.? is this your first seal job ever. or first engine internal work ever? 1994 isuzu rodeo here, has no such engine. (USA) 4Ja1 diesel. My guess i you posted to wrong car because Fixya does list your car, because we dont have your car. so i cant look it up for you. try saying your country and real name of car... (a D-MAX is Asia?_) what? buy the factory book, on the unstated car? or truck>? is the engine in or out of car? is the transmission in or out of car.? we can't guess any of this. nor tools at hand, like engine lift's etc. you bought a : the factory seal? or the after market nice double lip seal. and do you plan to use the correct tool shown in the shop manual or make your own. or pound it in with a hammer....(ouch) below is ,cut from free FSM book, see the red arrow. that is the rear crank seal. 4ja1 and jb1 as you can see its behind the flywheel (or flexplate atcmb) The year is important is it really 1994? so engine out, or trans out. (you pick) then replace it, one way to learn is to read TIMKEN bearing white papers on how do it right, and the 25 ways wrong. all in one sitting. as seen here http://www.timken.com/en-us/solutions/automotive/aftermarket/Pages/TimkenTechSeries.aspx

tune-up, dirty gas, dirty air filter...when last completed?

mat? why ask engine questions with no engine stated?????? the old name for IAT (manifold air temp) new name is Intake air time.. not arguing names.. but using real name puts me on track. why do easter egg hunts from pro retired mech.s.? why do that. and not stating symptoms. NO ENGINE stated, which one? some engine do not have one. even with EFI. that is a FACT. ( I had a 92 that has none) they removed manifold(M name) because the sensors are mostly on the air cleaner box now, true inducted air , temperatures. work best !!! usa car or canada?we cant guess that. and they are different. in many ways.... on some engines, the IAT is hidden inside the MAF sensors. (a fact on many) but no engine or country stated, so can't guess. that. even This vehicle was sold as the Holden Rodeo in New Zealand and Australia. but yours is in N.Americia right? this is a USA forum and no one ever states their country and smog parts, vary by you guessed it , country....... and their smog laws... BIG TIME. ------------------------------------------------ USA answering (wild mostly useless guess) engine 2.6L or 3.2Liters? some 2.6L have a MAF sensor. (other use a MAP) the IAT is very important on the MAP engines, but not on any MAF. "speed density and air density system " they can be 1 or other. and matters big time. ill look at alldata.com (usa only it is) for you. done.... (so can you,log in read) ok, im there, 2.6L has mAF, no MAT (IAT) there, that means the MAF does all that on one part. (measures air flow and corrects air measurements with its internal temperature sensor device inside MAF) (magic?) now the 3.2L bingo it has a MAP engine and has IAT. there are other engines.... below is 3.2L IAT (E loc) end easter egg hunt..... on other engines, its on the air cleaner. or none AT ALL.Post symptoms and get real help. say dont want guessing what tests. !!! and win.
