Gasport,
New_York
I was driving my car back from Arkansas to NY, and about 1/4 of the way in, we got off to get gas, and went to downshift from 5th, cruised to a stop, and then went to start off in first.
everything went good, except now it wont shift out of first. ive tried taking off the cables and shifting it directly from the transmission. i can shift it into other gears, but it locks the transmission because its then in 2 gears. I also drove the car onto the trailer in first, but in order to roll it in neutral w/ the car off i have to have the clutch in.
Heres what i know i can and cant to:
I can not get the car out of first, even though i can put the selector into other gears
I can not move the shifter into 5th or reverse, ever. this is at the tranny AND with the shifter.
I can not start/roll the car unless the clutch is pushed in (cant get out of first..)
I CAN shift into 2nd gear, even though its stuck in first.
i can shift the car into 2nd/3rd/4th as well, but the car will not move because its stuck in 2 gears at once.
1st gear also acts just like 1st, and the car rolls normally, so i know the position of the gears is correct.
Im just lookin for some help so i can figure out what happened. For a couple days before this happened i was having some issues getting into first. for a while i stopped trying and just used 2nd, but i figured out that if you downshifted from 2nd into 1st while the cars moving it would go into first.
Any ideas?
