6 Speed tranny ???
Hey you guys... I've got a quick question... I have an 02 6-Speed (of course) and every once in a great while when i have been on the highway for a while... i get off the ramp like everybody has to and the car will not go back into the slot where 1st and 2nd gear sit... i mean i am in neutral and i can only access 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th... then i have to fiddle with the shifter till i can force the little bastard left in neutral so i can get back to 1st and 2nd... then its fine for a while.... THANKS GUYS

Im assuming your speed is too high getting off the highway to be getting into 2nd and ESPECIALLY 1st. Have you ever tried getting into first going 10mph? It wont happen.
Dont force the car into gear when it doesnt feel like. You will ruin your tranny

no sorry for not making it clear guys... i know how to drive a stick ive been driving one for 5 years (i never put it in 1st unless im damn near stopped)... i mean i stop (completely) at the end of the off ramp and the stick wont go left in neutral to the space where i can throw it up into 1st or down into second

Check the shifter cables to see if they're binding on anything as well as the shifter linkage on the transmission (remove the airbox to access this)
And FYI you can get your car into first at any RPM as long as you rev match. (double clutch..)

ok ima check the linkage ... havent had time to do it today cuz the lifts have been tied up but i did take the interior off and grease all the linkage parts in there.... next is greasing the outside linkage on the tranny...LA02max that was exactly what i think it is but figured i would ask you guys ... oh and of course it freed itself up like it always does after i screw with it for a min so ima grease everything and hope for the best
