ogi1der Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 This morning on my way into work I stopped at a stop light. I was in 5th coming up to the stop light and went to shift into 3rd. A really uncool thing happened, my shifter acted like it was compeatly unattached. So I had to slip the crap outa the clutch in order to get the thing moving so I could park it in a parking lot (because the damn thing is still in 5th). I think what the problem is is the bolt that connects the shifter into the linkage is gone? The only tranny mod i have is a short shift that I installed about 6-7 months ago. Help me PLZ!!! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hdelsol95 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 hmm well sounds like something came off in ur linkage probley from ur short shift to the rod because its unlikey it came off the transmission unless its missing the roll pin there but i doubt it because those just dont slip out lol, id definatly check the connection from ur short shift to the rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelkou Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Get under your car again and check the linkage on the short shifter. I almost feel bad for your clutch. poor car..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapaneseDomesticMarketGSR Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Check the clutch fluid first. If that is good then jack up the car and make sure the 12mm bolt and washer are connecting the SL to the tranny. Also make sure all the bolts are still there from your recent install of the short shifter undre the cab. Other than that it could be the bitch pin that fell out, but I seriously doubt that.

There isnt a bolt and washer connecting the SL to the tranny its just a roll pin and a useless thin metal clip that goes around it then a rubber sleeve, ur thinking the stablizer bar that is next to the linkage that has a 12 mm bolt in it, but ur problem is most definatelly the connection to short shift and SL edit: Check the Clutch Fluid.... wtf makes no sence!

cranny Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 id say the bolt that holds your shifter to the shifter rod came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogi1der Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 This is really what happened. The part of the shift linkage that connects to the tranny in front. That came unattaced due to some really small pin. The pin was actually sitting in the rubber boot. Worked well for me becuase it only costed me about an hour worth of time between having some pick me up from the parking lot and reinstalling the pin. Has anyone ealse had this problem? BTW thanks to all of you who responded so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hdelsol95 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 wow that really surprizes me that pin was a pain to get out even with a punch when i was replacin my clutch, someone must have worked on it before and put the wrong pin in or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never heard of that happening. Those things are jammed in there really fuqin tight, that's why I call it the bitch pin. After you do it a few times you get the hang of it though.

Hdelsol95 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 if you just put it back in with a vice grip and didnt have to pound it in then id say get a different pin, i had to hammer mine in for like 3 min layin under the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
