shifter Problems
Ok, this is the story, I've been driving my car around all day and it's shifting normal and fine. I back into the driveway at my friend's house. I get out and he says he wants to see how my car shifts. He gets in with the car off and is shifting and all of the sudden the shifter goes clunk, and I was like, "what was that?" I turn on the car and I put it in 1st gear and it goes nowhere. I put it in 2nd, it goes nowhere again. I put it in neutral and it goes reverse. The shifter will not shift into 3rd, 4th, 5th, or reverse gears. I'm really lost and need this fixed. I took out the shifter and theres a J shaped clip thing, and the spot where the shifter goes in. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Tried it, but it did nothing. Thanks for your input though. The reverse light is on now all of the time, and my car can go nowhere but backwards. I really need desperate help. Thanks.

try taking out the shift lever thing... maybe its not turned right in there or he pulled that piece of plastic thing off the lever and its stopping something from moving. When doing tranny work a screw driver can get you into 1st.

Yeah, the problem is, I only have $75 right now, and I need to get it fixed. I already have the tranny out. I just haven't started taking it apart and changing the forks, so I wanted to see if I could get any help in doing it. I have to see what I can do. A new transmission is probably in the near future. Thanks for your input guys.

a used tranny is surprisingly cheap. i don't know about FCs, but for 240sx's u can get a used ka tranny for 100 bucks or so. if you don't have the money maybe you should ask your friend for some. he did, after all, effectively break your car.
