on an off note, is the shifter on a s4 different from an s5?
i bought a short shifter from a part out for 20 bucks, pulled it from an s4. tried installing it on my s5 but the ball on the bottom of the shifter seemed smaller than my stock one and it was ridiculously hard to shift as well.
anybody have any knowledge on this subject?

We swap it with this transmission (miles unknown) and we drive it light for a month and it's stuck in reverse. I found these threads and fixed it. Then I drove it for about 300 miles and suddenly I'm stuck again. Not even 20 miles later it TRIED to get stuck again on me. But as I started the car back up and tried to drive it in reverse for a spot to jack the car on stands, the transmission gears slipped and it corrected itself; I was never able to go anywhere when it did this...the gears just seemed to spin on their own and the lever slid back where it belonged.
I'm just trying to figure out why this transmission is doing this as often as it is. I am considering pulling the shift components from the old trans (condition permitting) and installing them in the current trans.
