tranny problems!!!??? PLEASE HELP!!
well, tonight on the freeway i tried to downshift to 4th and all of a sudden its grinds liike crazy, and im no longer able to put it in 3rd, 4th, 5th or reverse....i cant move it past 2nd gear in neutral, it just wont bugde over to the right anymore.....anyone have any ideas on why??? and what i need to fix it?
before this happend it was already jacked up, while in any gear i could make little circles with the shifter and move it around EASILY, i was thinking that i needed new bushings but i think its more serious than that...

when you try moving the shifter over to the right....does it feel like it's hitting something....or more that it's jammed?
No being able to move your shifter over to the right doesn't mean that your tranny is done for. It sounds like something came loose in the shifter housing, or possibly right below the shifter. If this is the case, it shouldn't be too expensive to fix. But if you can move it all the way to the right in neutral, but can't get it into gear, then it might be a prelude to more serious problems.

Without the bushings, it's hard get enough leverage and motion to tell why 3-4 and 5-R won't select.
Is it possible you stuck in 1 or 2??
