I was giving the car a run the other night up to around 135 mph and upon deceleration I could not get the transmission out of fifth gear. I ended up lugging it in fifth gear around the corner and off the road. I was able to pull it out of gear as I was gliding down the road while applying no gas but then could not get it into any gear. The shifting was just stiff and almost as if it was locked out of all gears.
Stopped the car, turned off the motor and after playing around by moving the shifter around I was able to get the car into third gear restarted and drove home. Now it is almost impossible to get the car into first without first engaging it into third and then it will shift into first and also fifth has been doing weird jerking movements forward and back when engaged. (SEE VIDEO)
The shift lever goes back and forth when applying the throttle lightly. It is moving around two inches but doesn’t pop out or anything and only does this while in fifth? All shifting is not a smooth as it used to be anymore in all gears and like I previously mentioned almost impossible to get into first gear without first engaging the lever into third first.
Before the high speed run, everything appeared to be working fine for the 2000 previous miles that I put on my car. Changed all fluids about 1800 miles ago.
If anyone has any ideas on what I should be looking for to possibly fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.
