Well I just woke up from a much needed rest after getting my car towed to the dealership at 5:30am. It decided to slowly lose gears second and fourth throughout the night til i pulled up to a stop light and had no gears at all. The shifter just moves around without any effort at all. Not exactly sure what would cause it but it's waiting to go in monday now. Anyone have any ideas? Better be covered under warranty.

 

shifter linkage. And yes it will be covered under warranty

 

That's what I was thinking. Just wierd how i lost the gears slowly. I should note it was -50 out with the windchill last night.

 

it probably cracked and was really loose, until it finally broke completely.

 

^^^ yup, nothing can survive this cold

 

except winter beaters.

 

That sucks!
Yeah, the cold is defiantly hard on cars.
It's probably the linkage, as everyone said. It was about this cold when I broke the linkage in my old car.
It probably lost the gears slowly, cause the pin only half sheared off.... then finally let loose at the stop light.

 

wow that sucks ass!!! but now im definately faster! sorry

 

Ouch, sorry to hear that. You should see if the dealer could "accidently" install a Stage kit upgrade for the hassle anyway.
My winter car has survived thusfar, but it really handles like a tank in this cold.
Our ford trucks here at work (07 and 08) are breaking down (not to mention getting wrecked) a lot too. But then again, they are fOrD's.

 

ahaha absolutley!! winter beaters ftw! mine starts even on a -30night... unplugged! shes a champ!

 

Haha.... what ran through my mind is I hope the tranny is messed and they chuck in the LSD while they are at it.

 

it's either the shifter linkage or the tranny roll pin.. either way it SHOULD be covered by the stealership

 

Well, that would definately work as well. If that happens, i ought to screw mine up too!

 

Well, just heard back from the dealership. Things don't sound pretty. All i know is they are ripping apart the transmission tomorrow. Obviously wasn't anything simple.

 

Ouch!

 

like i said tranny roll pin.. or you jus plain broke you tranny..

 

thatta boy!!!!!

 

Cross your fingers for a new tranny with LSD!!!!!!

 

im just crossing my fingers for my wideband! haha if you get a lsd, i am gonna get you to drive my car, and break it too, then i will get an lsd too!

 

 

sign up for the meet!!! theres a sticky and you probably already have my guage installed dont you?

 

Thats it! That stupid gauge must have fucked up my car.

 

or it was the driver?

 

Wow... if it's that deep, hopefully it was the diff.

And yes.... sign up for the western meet....
I'll lead on the way out there... if you stay behind me maybe your car will make it...

 

hook up a tow rope!!!
