Help - Manual Tran. Stuck In Second
#1
Coming home last night and changed from first to second no prob, then I went to switch to third and I couldn't. I can move the shifter up and down put not left or right. I cant switch into first either. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Check the cables going to your trans. You may have to get under the car to see properly, some may have disconencted somehow.

If your cables go usually you can move the shifter (it happened to me). Your clutch could be fubared....... but I could be wrong!

Sounds like the clutch slave cylinder has gone (apparently a common problem with the 05-07 models) ... when that happened to me I got it to the dealer by matching revs and applying slight pressure on the shifter to change gears ... other than being stuck in gear the other symptom was a clutch pedal that basically went to the floor with very little pressure. Good luck.
