gear lockout

[byebyev8]

After putting a wopin on a mid 12 sec evo, I go to put the car into 4th gear and it locked me out of 4th. Not only did it lock me out of 4th but it wouldn't go into anygear. The clutch peddle stuck to the floor too. I Pulled over and pulled the clutch peddle up and everything went back to normal. This is the only time this has ever happened.

Sounds as if you lost hydraulic pressure and the clutch stuck to the floor. Therefore gears will not go in. I would check your clutch hydraulic system for leaks.

^agree. also check your fluids. I'd also bleed out the system just to make sure there isn't any bubbles. Another thing to check is to see if when the cutch is all the way up if you can pull it up any further, if you can its time to replace your clutch pedal assembly but, that symptom is often associated with the clutch not disengaging. How much have you driven the car after this happened?

I drove it about 30 miles back home and it was normal. You can't pull it up anymore either. I did notice that the clutch got a little bit of pedal pump up.

I would check the crank for thrust play. A walking crank will do that too.

It happens with 6-bolts to. But, because it doesn't eat up the crank sensor (it's on the cam on a 6-bolt) the engine will keep running. You probably have a bad slave cylinder. But if the cranlk is walking that bad it would be very easy to check. See if you can move the crank pulley in and out with a big screwdriver. 5 minutes for peace of mind.
