Well, I was at a stop light after eating at a Mexican Restrauant tonight. This car was not paying attendent and almost rear ended me. I save my car by Popping the clutch and hauled *** forward. Now the problem is that its stuck in second gear....IDK what happen? I press the clutch in and out and it works fine but its stuck in gear....What is going on?

Thanks
Anthony

 

Does the shift **** move at all?

Have someone push the clutch in and look at the slave cylinder. See if the slave cylinder is pushing the shift fork.

 

Yes, the shifter moves....I can shift in to first but it fights where the other gear (stuck in Second). IDK what is going on....Any input?

 

Well, I had a Very Violant Vibrations when I was rev in first gear and shifting in to second. Also, I can leave the shifter in Neutral and when I release the clutch it start going (its stuck in second).....

 

Hello......Anyone?

 

When the shifter is in neutral, the tranny is in 2nd? Maybe the 1-2 shift fork is broken? But then it wouldn't do anything when you shift to 1st. Whathappens when you shift to 3rd or 4th?

 

Yes, when the shifter is in neutral. The Tranny is in 2nd. When I put the shifter in 1st. The tranny fights with first and stall the motor out. Same with 3-5 and Reverse...

 

I understand 3, 4, 5, & R, but I don't understand 1st. 1st & 2nd gears sharea synchro hub betweenthem. If it's stuck in the position locking 2nd to the shaft, I don't see how you can even move it to 1st.

A broken shift fork would allow you to move the shift lever to 1st but it wouldn't actually move the synchro hub. So that seems to eliminate a broken 1-2 shift fork.

Now I'm thinking the 2nd-gear baulk ring is seized onto the 2nd gear cone. I guess that would lock 2nd gear to the shaft, while allowing the hub to slide to neutral & over to the 1st-gear position.

Been running the tranny with not enough oil?

 

Well, I put the shifter in to second and rev the motor to almost redline. I got a very viloent vibration and i was about to shift to 3rd...WTH is going on...Now I am able to drive it normally...

 

So now it works OK??

I guess that DOES fit with the baulk ring seized to the gear cone. You managed to break it free & now it works.

I imagine shifting INTO 2nd (from either direction) might be a little rough for awhile.

Check your tranny oil level.
