well im stuck in reverse so i pull the shifter hoping
for an easy fix....i quickly find out it not the shifter but the connection at the forks.....soooo, before giving up i decide to charge my battery from the recent stereo installation (pics coming soon)....
being stuck in reverse i hold down the clutch and barely get the cold car started....after about 10 minutes of stereo versus motor noise test, i finally decide the car is warmed and that the stereo is WAY louder than the car at any RPM....so, i shut er down and let off the clutch and start to roll backwards....in neutral!
tried it today and it seems to shift better than ever!
not sure whats goin on but im back on the road! haha..z
 
I seen the same thing happen before with the race cars, they would get stuck in between gates and with a little rocking you can normally get them unstuck. I had it happen to mme at the Runoffs one time, **** thing stuck in third gear, still finished 13th /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
im usually stuck in neutral...any idea whats goin on in there, hap? what part is causing the stick?........z
