  • T5 experts....Help!!!!

    So yesterday I drove the notch to the store to get a pack of cigarettes little trans problems here and there like hard to go into first and reverse from a stop and second grinding from time to time for bout the last mounth.

    So i go to down shift into 3rd fixing to turn into the parking lot and the trans hangs up in 4th like something in it is in a bind. I coast itto a spot and jiggle the shifter and then end up fighting with it and still stuck. So run grab a pack and smoke one. then get in cussing it out and started at it again and somewhere between the overhand right and a counter left i threw the stick popped losse. It felt real rough and stiky buit started the car and slowly let off the clutch and be damned it was still in gear but stick wasnt. Now the shifter will not make the trans go into / out of any gear.

    It's actually stuck in gear.So i ease off the clutch and give it a little gas hoping it would jar it losse and then it popped loud as hell and was free. But as i drove off it stated makeing a cluncking nosie and could feel it in the stick.(link to video with sound attached) Only does that when in gearand driving. When going slow its worse as far as it hits whatever harder than when i drive faster.

    Clutch will engage and disengage pretty normal,could use a little adjusting,but not real bad

    Any ideas? Thanks.

      You could have told me that yesterday and all this could have been avoided... So I guess I can hold you responsible for this.

            It shifts into and out of gears better now to be honest. I'm just woundering what that could be and if its easy fix that I can do or park it till I can find a new job/afford to take it to a shop.

              Probably a bent shift key. 3rd and 4th gear will do this as the syncro rings get worn out and allow the shift keys to pop out of place.

                How big of a concern is it? I know when anything goes wrong its a concern but I been laid off for two and half weeks and I need to be able to move around freely if I get a call back and to keep looking. So what and how bad will I mess things up driving it responsibility and not getting on it?

                        Im going in the morning to see about makeing one up. Things have changed so much in the job hunting scene. I'm use to going in meeting a person for a application and getting a little face time to go with the app. Now you don't meet or talk to anybody till the interview. Which seems like it would suck for the interviewing person cause u never know what's going to come through the door.

                          That shit happened to me where it would either get stuck in 4th or wouldn't stay. Come to find out the spline and counter shaft ate each other up but didn't grenade my trans at the time thank god.
