T-5 problems-----whats wrong?
I know most responses to the question of whats wrong with my t-5 is the simple fact that it is a t-5. That well taken point while accepted doesn't answer my question.
I have a t-5 in my car that I just installed. The tranny shifted all gears smooth without issue. The only hang up is that tonight when I power shifted into 3rd gear the tranny is interrnally stuck in that gear. I can physically move the shifter to 4th and 5th but even when the car is supposed to be in nuetral (sp?) it's still in 3rd. So not matter whether the car is running or off with the clutch in or out it's just stuck in 3rd.
I don't beleive that the tranny is bad it just must have broken some internal part. I'm just trying to get an idea or what it is and how much you think it would cost to get it fixed.
I'm using a pro 50 shifter if it matters.

Dammit there goes my response. maybe you broke the rod that holds the shift forks and the fork has wedged itself in gear. Does the shifter move any easier or harder now?

So it's either a broken shifter/blocker rings/shift forks/or maybe welded internals.
Well i'll be able to say about the shifter very soon but either way this better not be expensive because the tranny was working just fine.
My guess was a messed up slider that could have damage the shaft.
As for distracting Katie i'm sure there are several people who would be up for that job.
