5th won't engage!
i posted this on g35driver, thought i have it here since our 6mt trannies are the same......
driving around one day and bam.....5th gear will not engage at all......so i put in neutrual and try again.....nope.....all other gears are ok, except for the occasional 1st and 1-2 notchiness......car is at dealer.......anyone had this happen before? what happened? searched, but nothing on about 5th shows up... __________________ 04 6mt blk sedan: 05 Z suspension, Ztube, Zmiddy, Z track 18" wheels w/dunlops 245/24/18 all around + bolt-ons good for 257whp and 245tq on dynapak w/exhaust leak .......S/T in the planning stages. The few, the proud, the 6mt sedans |
Don't know the exact particulars of what went wrong, but sounds like it's time for a new tranny. Your warranty will cover it, assuming your car is still within warranty.
|
have about 55k, so warranty is still valid...........just waiting for call from dealer and hoping to hear, "we're replacing your tranny".......that will make my day for sure.
|
does 5th Rev like neutral? i had the same exact problem.. but it was 5th and 6th.. got my tranny replaced under warranty
|
Check the shifter guide plate... It may be something as simple as that...
If you have an aftermarket shifter of some kind, I have seen bushings on them wear out and not allow to shift into 5/6 or R... |
This happened to me. Dealer replaced the tranny. It's a pain. Sorry.
|
Getting a new tranny......priceless.
