Cant get out of First Gear HELP!!!!

Today I was driving my Evo and when i punched it in 1st gear and shifted into 2nd the car went no wear. Now i cant get the car to go into any gears. when the car is in neutral it stays in first gear no matter what. I tryed reverse and the light come on in the back, but the cars still moves forward. Could this be a clutch plate that went wrong PLEAS HELP!!! Thinking of taking the car in to Mitsu dealer around 9am, but i have couple of MODS

2. Dynoflash road tune
3. Walbro 255
4. Forge unos MBC

lol i had the exact same thing happen to mine.. mods: intake, exhaust and thats about it. so i had it towed to mitsu. dealership and fixed under warranty. i couldnt go into 1st & 2nd
I was just turning the corner at a busy intersection and bam nothing so i managed to get it into 3rd until i could get her somewhere safe then called mitsu roadside assist.



good luck.. i hope your dealership is mod friendly...

Check to see if your shifter cables are still attached properly and have the correct linkage lengths. If the cables are fine, you either destroyed your syncros or shift fork. Might be a good time to send your trans to shepard =)

Put the stock DP, cat on and take off the MBC. You'll be glad you did if you tranny is fooked.

its most likley the bushings on the cables poped off. happened to me once. check the cables first. if they seem fine, take off your mbc, downpipe and testpipe.
