[s-cars] 5 Speed Wooooooooos

[Fred Munro]

Mark;

Something similar happened to Bob Donnelly's S6 a couple of years ago after
a spirited run at the Sundridge ice drags. His tranny actually locked into
2nd and we had to work it a bit to get the shifter into neutral. It was very
stiff going into 1st and 2nd. I believe he had the linkage looked at but
couldn't see anything wrong. He continued to drive the car and the problem
gradually went away (he's got the limited-availability self-healing option
on his car).

Come to think of it, between the cars stuffed through the snow banks, the
burned clutch, and Bob's tranny, my S4 was the only UrS that came away
intact from that particular event. It was a fun-filled but expensive day.

I now have some bad transmission problems, I missed a WOT shift from 1st to
2nd.
Things are not good,1st and 2nd are very hard to shift into and the shifter
does not go into neutral right. The shifter will hang over to the left in
the first to second gate, not over in third.

Is there any BTDT on this problem, any reports on failed transmissions out
here would be very helpful at this point. Seems the tranny will be coming
out, and getting opened. This is a 92 5 speed, non wide etc.

I have not had any noise in first to indicate galling of the first gear, as
I have never really hammered it in first since I heard of this weakness. Are
there any parts out here for repairing this (whatever it turns out to be),
possibly from some of the swapped out to 6 speed units ?

What is the current 6 speed of choice ? and what dollar amount are we
looking at.

Thanks o' great S-List...
