What broke? Stuck on 4th gear!! - SRT Forums

necal9 · 10-25-2009, 11:36 AM

Was driving and shifted hard to 3rd and somehow it got stuck in 4th. Bushings are find but the cable on the left side of the shifter is stuck, won't move at all. So i went to the top of the tranny and it's stuck there. So Synchros broke? Oh and i tried to pry it lose and broke the cable end.(I KNOW IT WAS STUPID. Was frustration does) Do i need to replace the whole cable or just the end?
Thanks

Take your shift selector cover off, which is where the cables connect to the transmission. You either snapped your shift selector, or broke your 3/4 shift fork. You can tell either one from pulling the shift selector cover off.

appreciate it. Now what about the cable? Since i broke off the end of it. Do i need a new one or can i buy a new end for it?

For the shift cable, I believe that's a dealer only item. It's a complete assembly from the shifter assembly to the transmission.
