I WAS IN MY BUDDYS evo and he was going into boost in third and by the time he shifted at 8500 rpms (NLTS) to 4th the gear just seized and the rpms jumped all over to rev limiter and now the gear is stuck in 2nd gear and you cant change it ... its like nothing else is there = open space..

no leakage found no holes....

a trans mysterty?

 

Check you shifter bushings and cables under the hood.

He probably just ripped out of the shifter bushings.

 

prob broke a rail, or fork, and now its stuck in the gear yet you can move the shifter around, happend to my buddys 1G

 

exactly what happened guess what he gets for a big turbo revving to the moon on stoct trans!

 

check the shifter bushings under the center console where your gear selector is. Make sure that the linkage is all together over there. Then check under the hood. If you take out the battery, you can see the shifter linkage that goes into the tranny. Search the how to forum for the shifter bushing install to see what to look for. If all looks good from the outside then somethign either broke or came apart and is jamming up the gears not allowing it to engage/disengage. Was there any loud sound besides the car revving to the mooon?

 

Nope None What so ever

 

Does the shifter just flop arround or is it unmovable in 2nd? You may have seized the gear to the shaft. did he miss shift into 2nd instead of shifting into 4th?

 

nope its moves aroung like there is no more gears but you move the in second gear
