86 FC stuck in reverse.
Hey you guys, I drove my car to work like normal and backed it into the parking space. At the end of the day when I went to drive home, I saw that the car was stuck in reverse and wont go into fifth at all. After doing some searching I see that Miatas have this issue and I was wondering if this "field repair" applies to our cars... If so I will try it tomorrow... Thanks for any input...

Brand new baby.... It only took 15min to fix--I am actually sad that I didnt do this on Sunday when it happened... I expected it to take a long time so I waited for a day off and it only took 15min... lol

Yea... I know b/c when it happened to me, I thought the same thing like "Man, how could the tranny just go bad like this." But due to the fact that I new how good it was driving earlier that day, I knew something had to give. After a little bit of googling I found the writeup about the Miata and thought that I would give it a try... I just wish I did it sooner..
