Well long story short. I bought this car. I know the previous owner. He claimed what happened was he was hauling ***, and as he was slowing down to a red light he put the shifter into first (he said he had to bang it in pretty hard) gear. He said there was a loud pop or bang, and now the shifter is STUCK in 4th gear. The only thing that works is the clutch and slipping the clutch to about 10mph.

He claims the flywheel came off and smashed **** up, and it needs a new tranny. Of course, he's been known to be VERY wrong before.

Any other info as to possibilities before I buy a new tranny?

If it is the tranny, where can I get one cheap?

Thanks

TTT.

The shifter moves around and all that, but the trans wont get out of fourth gear.

Any input?

Reego.

check your shift linkages

Where are those located?

Evs-One

2 cables that go to the top of the transmission. Have someone look at the cables while you shift the lever...see if they move or stay stationary.

Ah so it would be in the engine compartment.

So you think thats the problem and the trans isn't screwed?

So the dealer thinks the tranny is fine, and it might be the clutch or the linkage.

Soooo... where are all the linkages, and how do I remove the center console to access those linkages?
