Temporary Loss of Gears Puzzler Posted by andrew [Email] (#1013) [Profile/Gallery] (more from andrew) on Sun, 8 Jul 2001 00:06:59 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Yesterday I was accelerating from a light in my '97 CS, when I seemed to lose the ability to shift into any gears. I hit the redline in second, went into third, and then tried to go into fourth, but the gear wouldn't engage. I then tried to go back into third, but couldn't do that either. Fortunately I had enough momentum to coast onto a side street. I tried to shift while at a standstill - the shifter moved but would not go into gear. I turned the car off and back on, and still nothing (although it made a nice gronking sound when I tried to put it in reverse). Finally, I turned the car off again and tried to shift with it off. It went into all gears just fine, so I started it up and drove home (about 5 minutes). I went through all five forward gears with no problems and no strange noises. Any ideas about what happened?
