i was driving to my buddies was at a stop.. i gave it a lil bit a gas about 4 to 5 rpm and shifted to 2nd, when i went to 2nd i notice i didnt catch so i went to 3rd drove a lil bit then went to 4th and realized 4th didnt catch either.. i have a hurst short throw shifter, just wondering if anyone knows wat this might be? do u think something came loose on the shifter or if my trans just took a DUMP on me

thanks.

 

have you pulled out the hurst to check all the cables yet?

 

Roll pin broke.

 

cables need adjusting

or that

 

when i didnt have those same gears, i broke a shift linkage... but i have the stock shifter

 

no i havent done that yet..

i just talked to my buddy in texas he thinks its my shift linkages so im gonna have my other buddy look at it when he gets ahold of me..thanks for all ur help guys if u think of anything else just keep posting i can use all the help i get. also my buddy said to put my stock shifter back in so the dealership doesnt give me any **** about my short throw good idea??

 

idk if it will be under warranty anyways, most likely say its your fault for abusing it, Damn GM. but i would put the stocker back in and try.

 

yea i bought a extended 3 year warranty with it so hopely they cover it..

 

yes!

 

I had the exact same thing happen to me its a broken roll pin

 

did they warranty it for u? and did u have a stock shifter??

 

could also be the rubber boot on the front of the shift cable mine tore and lost the same gears pull ur drivers wheel of and you can see if its a roll pin or boot

 

if it was the linkage he wouldnt be able to shift any gear, would he? because with my twm shifter it didnt catch all the way and came out and i had to readjust it and get the linkage snapped all the way together

 

i was driving to my buddies shop to have him look at it and well lost 1st, 3rd and 5th so now i have no gears FML...getting it towed to the dealership on monday

 

It is likely that roll pin. Though pull the cup holder out and check to make sure that the cables for the shifter are secured to the floor.

 

he is right. I will bet u 20 bucks its the roll pin. I had this issue 2 weeks ago. All of a sudden I had a lot of play in the shifter and I lost,2nd,4th, and reverse. My buddy at my dealer who worked on it figured out that the roll pin had snapped in half but half the pin was still stuck in there thats why i had 1st,3rd, and 5th instead of none.lol

well 30 bucks says the other hald of said broken roll pin fell out.lol. But my dealer covered it np. Of course i put the stock shifter on but the roll pin should not snap. Gm used cheap pins in the original lsj's. My buddy at the dealer put a hevier pin it that they can now order for the lsj

 

aight sweet yea the tow truck picked it up today and took it to the dealership.. hopely they will be able to fix it within a day..

 

if it is the roll pin it took them 2 hours once they found my wheel lock.lol

 

not the roll pin if that was the case you wouldnt have ANY gears... and your shifter would do COMPLETE circles like your stirring a stew... literally

 

Guaranteed it is the roll pin and if you get it to the dealer you will have your car back today for sure... mine had the same problem i got all the way home and had to reverse so i just left it and went to drive to work the next day cuz i work at the dealership and i had it back before lunch..

 

there fixing it they had to order some parts over night so i wont get it till tomorrow..and i forgot to ask her wat they ended up finding wrong with it i was at work and couldnt really talk and i left my hurst short throw in it

 

From JAPAN?

 

lmaoo the funny thing about that is everyone ive told this too is like..did they order ur stuff at harrys and have it shipped overnight from japan..

 

mine car went in yesterday for the same **** rofl and only had it for 5 weeks has 1700 miles on it. no reverse 2nd or 4th..

called today and still not ready they waiting for the part they said its on back order that none of the wearhouses have it.. you guys took the part now i need to wait rofl lololol
