ok i was driving fine and went through all the gears a couple times already. i get to this light then make a u turn. first-- fine then second --fine then third varooooomm, seemed like it was still in neutral. hit the clutch and tried to put it back it but it was already in but there was no gear there. tried fourth-- same thing. but 5th and reverse are fine. everything else seems fine, no engine light, no extra noise no loss of performance. i'm thinking a shifter cable snapped since my car does have like 104thousand miles on it.

did this every happen to anybody or what? if so how did you get it fixed and how much was it. and could i do it myself?


also on a side note.. does anybody know why www.dsmtalk.com shut down the registration. i've been trying everyday for over 2 weeks but still says they are disabled.

Im not a tranny expert but it sounds like a bad syncro. I had the same problem with trying to sign up to dsmtalk. I think its to keep the site from getting out of control numbers wise. You can also try www.2gnt.com I know its for non turboes but there are quite a few guys on there with turboes and also a turbo 4g63 and 1g section in the forums. hope i helped!

but if it was a bad syncro wouldnt i still be able to get into those gears with double clutching? and how would 2 gears go at exactly the same time?
