i was coming up this hill in first then punched it and went into 2nd and as i got into second my stick just turned to jello! what tghe hell do u guys think happenedi was almost in tears

 

so it doesn't work anymore? or was it a one time thing. and what does "like jello" mean.

 

ummm it wont go into any gear it jus flops around

 

answer all the questions, not just one. otherwise how are we supposed to help?

 

yea start crying.

 

how did you get into first? was it from a stop? or did you shift into first to go up the hill?

 

yeah we're goign to need more details I can probally tell you what's wrong.

 

no i was pulled to the side talking to my friend at a complete stop then i started goin floored it banged second n then there was nothing the stick does not go into any gear its just like a joy stick

it is still in gear though which i presume its in 2nd

 

have you replaced your stock shifter with an aftermarket one?

 

no i havnt

 

weird normally they just don't go into 1,3,5 or 2, 4 , R I'd say you pulled your shifter cables out of socket.

 

but hwne it happened my car wa sjust reving after it broke coulndt move anywhere but it is still in gear

 

so you had to tow it home? it's still really new so i would just take it to the dealer and have them fix it for free. sounds like you fucked your synchros, or if it's as common in the tc as the sc, a roll pin. easy fix.

 

i was htinking i broke the linkage or somethin but i dunnnoo

 

Broken roll pin.

 

good they brought a tow truck but i refused to put it on so i had it flatbed to the dealer

should i tell the dealer i was bangin gears or what?

 

it's pretty hard to see where I'm talking about but there are two cables that come off of your shifter run through the firewall and into a brackett attached to your transmission. where they are attached to your bracket they go through a plastic peice about the size of a #2 pencil.. that could be where your problem is.

or you can take your front cupholder out to get a look at the bottom of the shifter to make sure you didn't mess anythign up down there.


yeah probally a roll pin... i didn't see your other post. but it could be all sorts of **** honestly!

 

nooooooooo. you were driving and then when you shifted gone

 

no lift shifting??

 

Its either the roll pin or bushings, Id bet money on it. Please UPDATE when the dealer tells you - it seems like there have been a lot of posts like this one recently.

 

yes yes
keep us posted please.
thanks & good luck

 

YEP.

 

im going to see them today n iguess they will inform me on it i will keep u guys posted but is htis covered by warranty

also is there a way for me to avoid somehting liek this in the future

 

don't hammer through the gears. be gentle, shifting hard won't make you go faster.

 

what about an aftermarket short shifter whats the deal with those would they be built alot tougher to handle things liek that
