i dont like cruising in 4th gear. And its a problem i would just like to fix anyhow. Its weird though.. last night it was perfectly fine. then this morning when i left to work, it wouldnt go into gear period, not with the car off, or stopped.

 

you have 40 cars

its like a 4 hour job

 

exactly, you figure in breaks, and food time, and sit down and watch tv time, and deal with annoying girl time, etc etc, and its a 10 day job.

Yeah, i only have one car. DOn't feel like taking the tranny out for this only was doing a clutch job.

 

could it be a bent shift fork?

 

unlikely, the forks are cast steel. it could be the following; jammed shift rod (you wouldnt have reverse in this case), synchro broken so badly a peice is jammed in there, failed hub sleeve (again reverse wouldnt work), it could also be the shifter

 

what about the shifter could it be?

 

i dunno, could be something broke and is stuck in there

 

Could be, pull off the interior stuff and have a look.

I had a Toyota that did the same thing once, but 3rd.

Thought it was the tranny, but after a quick inspection of the interior linkage

it was just a little "pin" in the way.
