Stuck in reverse! Help!

[m3/e30fanatic]

How am I supposed to answer your question if I can't go to 1,2,3,4,5,R? If I can't go to and see if the selector rod moves that attaches to the transmission.

You still haven't answered our questions....

My transmission doesn't move into any gear! It just wiggles around in neutral but the tranny thinks it's in reverse. -.-

But you need to determine if it is a shift linkage issue or a transmission issue. Do as Jim had stated.

Do what I said earlier and you will be able to tell in the problem in the shifter or in the transmission.

The car wont go into any gear even with a lot of force.

Start the car with the clutch in, keep the clutch in and try to work the gears.

The car won't even go into 1,2,3,4,5,R, it looks to be in neutral and won't go into any gear. But the car is in reverse if you turn on the car. I am most certain it is not inside the transmission. I went under the car but I couldn't figure out what's wrong. :(

Matt hasn't had time to come take a look at it.

Give the guy a minute, its barely the beginning or the weekend.

Get the car up on jackstands. Then have a helper work the gear shift while you watch the end of the selector shaft that attaches to the transmission. If that end moves the same amount to the rear for reverse, 1st, 3rd, and 5th the problem is inside the transmission. In a like manner that end will move the same amount forward for 2nd & 4th.

Can it be the bushing of the selector rod thats messed up?

[m3/e30fanatic]

That's how the selector rod is supposed to be. You didn't find anything disconnected?

nope. The selector rod just had a little bit of a wiggle in the places it stood. Can it be my slave cylinder?
