Big Problem Today

Lostlife656 · 05-24-2008, 11:55 PM

So i was just doing some spirited driving today and i was slowing down so i threw it in 6th. Right when i threw it into 6th a heard a rattle and i heard and saw a few pieces of metal fly out from behind my car. Long story short... it didnt come out of 6th and it felt like i had no more gear gates. Towed to dealer and waiting on their take on the crappy situation. Suck because they wont look at it till after the 3day weekend. Hopeing it is just linkage and not tranny because i have an aftermarket clutch.

I would imagine that it is something in the shifter assembly. Did you look under your car at all?

Lostlife656 · 05-25-2008, 01:04 PM

i wasnt able to get under it. but the way the shifter feels im pretty positive that it is just linkage. Ive never heard of an sti dropping its linkage though.
