Guest Anonymous Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 i was driving at 40 mph and when i was shifting into third gear the driveline locked up and i spun out and off the road. i thought i was the rear end at first. now that the tranny doesn't work i am not thinking that was it. i can push the shifter into all gears but when in first through fifth the motor just bogs and dies. no car movement. but when in nuetral it drives. it feels like it is in first gear. . ideas would be appreciated.

denny411 Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 It sounds like a shift fork has broken. The trans must be locked in 1st, and shifting engages another gear. Causing them to "push" against each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mongrel Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 That happened to me too! Luckily I was only backing out of the garage, pretty surprising still though. Now I have a ZX 5speed instead of the 4speed, a huge improvement to say the least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
