Having trouble with the hybrid (need help ASAP)
as i'am writing you this, i just got my car towed, and trying to figure out what the **** is wrong! 
i was in 5th gear going 60 on the high way, busted a neutral, as i finish taking the off ramp, i cant get into ANY gear !!!
i pull over, force first nuithing...turn the car off, clutch in and i can get into all gears, so i leave it in 1st and start the car.......what happens? the car shakes and turns off ! leave it in neutral start the car, wont go into any gear agian!
what could be wrong? all fluids are properly met (trans,etc) could it be my clutch? tranny?

Re: Having trouble with the hybrid (hybrider93)
That exact same thing happened to me about 2 months ago. I was on the freeway exit and downshifted like usual as i came to a stop. My car wouldn't go into any gears except for first. I couldn't even move the stick to the right at all... it was just stuck at first. I drove about 5 miles to get home only using 1st gear!!! that was a pain in the *** but luckily it was midnight and not many cars on the road.
Anyways, I decided to get a swap rather than fixing my stock dx tranny. Funny thing though. I've been waiting for my damn swap for about a month but while my car has been sitting in my garage i'd warm it up and try to put it into gear... usually unsuccessful at putting it into gear besides 1st.
About two weeks ago when i warmed it up... i could actually put it into all the gears except for 2nd. And about a week after that its back to normal... all the gears work perfectly. My car drives perfectly.
I have no idea what the hell is up with my tranny. I didn't do anything to it but just warmed the car up every once in a while. So if you ever find out what the hell happened to your car... let me know cuz I obviously don't have a clue but luckily it fixed itself... something i'm sure will never happen again.
