well first of hi to all of my 3/S bros, sorry if you cant undestand what im going to try to explain to you my english isnt very good, about a week ago i went for i ride in my car when i was coming back home i decided to step on the gas and let it rip, but when i threw 2nd gear the gear wouldnt get in and the car just went to neutral, then i checked my clutch pedal and it felt normal as always, then i tried to put the car in 1st gear and it didnt get in then tried 2nd gear and nothing so then i saw that my shifter would go like from 1st to reverse even without pressing the clutch i really dont know what the car has thats my problem if anyone can help me out i would really appreciated thanks :grinyes:

Hm, hows the clutch, old? original? burnt?
How are the shifter cables. Take out hte intake and MAS and have a friend shift through the gears for you, while you look and see what all is going on.

hey man thanks ill do that, well about the clutch the clutch its practically new i had it changed in march or feb. i dont remember but the reason that the clutch is new is because i have my stealth turbo (the baby) and a 240sx (all day car) so i really dont take my stealth out a lot also the clutch work y had it done on the dealer so that really doesnt worries me but as you said ill check it out myself by getting the y pipe and intake off thanks bro, and if the shifting cables are death are they hard to put on back again is that a work i could do myself or a mechanic?

most likely shifter cables. same exact thing happened to me after i re-installed tranny (after LSD install). i was racing a friend, went to shift into 2nd and it just felt like mush or pudding. softest, smoothest shift ever, but i never got to 2nd. i just had to ride in 1st all the way back home.
upon inspecting it, my shifter cables had come loose. there's a bracket that hold the cables/linkage down on top of the tranny. somehow a bolt had come loose, or fell out. perhaps i forgot to re-install the bolt. i don't know, but i just secured it with another bolt, and problem fixed.
hope your situation is this easy to fix.

by the way, your english is actually pretty good. by reading your post, i couldn't tell that english wasn't your first language. what IS your first language, if you don't mind me asking?
