just picked up a 96 gs for 200 bucks LOL it needs headlights and both bumpers, i have 2 97 bumpers already, but the car's tranny acts weird. 1,3,5 work fine. 2,4,R do not. when you put it in 2/4 it feels like it just glides in kind of like it would when you shift with no clutch. also grinds alot. i drove the car home though, runs perfect besides the tranny stuff. i got ahold of the original owner of the car, he told me that when he bought the car he loaded it onto a trailor and when he was pulling it onto the trailor he bottomed out, heard a loud bang he said. he thinks he messed up some sort of transmission hose or something.

but he said the car ran fine before this, and he also said that he just had a new clutch and slave put in, any chance they messed something up?

im trying to decide what to do with the car, my brother and i split the price. he needs a 420a for his 95 so he told me i could have the rest of the car. sell all the pieces and stuff. i needed the door caps and tail lights anyway. also came with 17" exel wheels with new tires that i can sell. but if its a simple fix ill keep the car. any advice guys??

I bet simple fix, try adjusting your shift cables.
 
ill check into it. i know its out of fluid and i may need to bleed the clutch but ive never done that before.
