So tonight at the track I shifted into 4th and I heard a pop. The shifter moved up and down loosely and I was stuck in 3rd gear. I took out the cup holder and re-attached this clip to the cable and was good to go.

This ever happen to anyone?

 

nope, but you said you have it fixed?

 

shift linkage. yes it happens a lot.

 

I actually broke mine right before the transmission there's those stupid little spring things stupid ass design but zip tied the assembly back together and was good to go

 

Shift Linkage thats an easy one

 

There were little pieces of plastic under there so I’m guessing that popping it back on did not completely fix it.

Dealership will fix this under warranty?

 

Yep, completely warrantied.

 

be glad you didnt break a roll pin. Linkage clip is a relatively easy fix. if you are under the bumper-to-bumper warranty still they will fix it.

 

I just realized even more so how cheaply these cars where built!

 

unless u have a short throw shifter

 

Thanks all!

I was so pissed because i would have hit 13's on that run. ended up with 14.0 @99 rolling past the finish line

 

try again

 

What is your rev limiter set to? Just wondering why you had to shift to 4th.

stock. didnt think i could make it in 3rd. think i can?

 

yes you should be able to if I recall correctly.

 

No, In order to get into the 13's you have to shift right into 4th at the end of the run (literally 50 feet before the line), otherwise you'll bounce off the limiter if you have a good run.

 

If you have 6500 limiter you would have to shift, but if you had 7000 or higher you would easily be able to stay in 3rd.

Ok. then yes i was having a good run because i had to shift.

 

Ooops! Lol. Least its working for the moment. I hear these parts are on backorder...

 

just got back from the dealer 30 min ago. they checked it out and said it didnt break, its suposed to just clip on. kind of glad it poped off now, cuz if it didnt i probably would have bent something.

 

what isn't on backorder for our cars? Christ, go in for an oil change and they'll tell you the supercharger oil is on back order when you have the damn turbocharged engine.

I find it funny seeing my receipts from warranty work have supercharged on it and that it's a 2009 LT Supercharged.
