    NEED HELP! Trans stuck in second gear

    Coming home from work today merging into traffic, shifted hard into second, ran out second then attempted to go into third. Could not get into any other gear so i threw the clutch in. The clutch works fine, i can drive the car so long as i start in second and go a reasonable 15mph...

    The shifter is sitting about where neutral is so it doesnt feel like the tranny is in second but mechanically it is.

    My guess would be a destroyed the shift rod or some of the bushings in the linkage but havent been able to get under it yet. All of my tools are not where I am.

    Suggestions would be appreciated.

    The first thing the check (with the car up in the air) is whether the transmission selector shaft can be moved to other gears. If it can, the problem lies in the shifter. If not, the problem lies in the transmission.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
