Hey if your having problems finding parts just visit www.funcreation.net. Click on Hummer H2.
Ours was doing the same thing it ended up being not gears but the switches in the gearbox (where they shift the gears.) There is one that controls forward and reverse and one that controls low high for forward. When I bypassed the low high reverse started working and high gear works, now it is running 2 speeds. Forward full and reverse. Figured he is ready for high speed now.
First, I replaced the battery. No need to buy the expensive branded battery - in the case of the Hummer H2, just get a standard 12v 12mAh battery and attach the special wiring harness from the old one to it.
I then desoldered and resoldered a bad connection on the battery cable.
Then, I took apart the gear shifter and used contact cleaner on all the switches.
Finally, the jeep works!!!
How does the shifter come apart. Thanks
My grandsons hummer 2 does the same thing now. Its in the gear box on the wheels [both sides] Im tring to locate parts &have no clue where to start looking. sorry.GM
I just fixed this problem on my neices Hummer. It worked in high gear and not in low or reverse. Firt thing, these toys Do Not have Gear Boxes. There are two switches under the gear shifter, all you have to do is spray contact cleaner in the switches and it will work fine again.
How do you get the shifter apart?
Keep the vehicle out of the rain/weather! Standing water in the area where the switches are will corrode the contacts. If you already have this problem, cleaning the contacts or replacing the switches and/or wiring harness may be necessary.
I saw that one person put to take off the battery harness and put it on a standard new battery. How do you do this? Are you talking about the black casing that has the handle attached? I don't want to break the battery open but the stores here don't have this exact battery to buy with the same plug.

Is the switch for the gears, just get a replacement switch, I did and it worked!!!, now the problem I have is the thing is not as fast in 2nd gear as it used to be, does anybody knows a solution?
Battery-powered vehicles such as this DO NOT HAVE ANY GEARS - the "gear shift" is essentially a "low speed" a "high speed" and a "reverse" selector (actually (2) two-way rocker switches) - 99% chance that there is nothing wrong with the switches - the contacts need to be cleaned
