On my way home, I took a turn while I was on 1st gear and hit a dip. I shifted to 2nd the same time I hit the dip. The car slammed a bit and after that I was stuck at 2nd. Slowed down and put it on neutral tried all my gears and I could not get in to 1 3 5 gears it felt like a wall was blocking it but 2 4 6 and R are smooth. Had my uncle and I check the car. I have BC short shifter with Hybrid racing bushings. I have prl SRI so its not hitting the clutch. Clutch line was intact and no signs of leaks. Tested the shifter cables and they were fine. Were thinking transmission. Just want to see if anyone experienced this and how you fixed it?

I took it to the dealers and they said it was the cable's lock nut that had come loose and needs to be replaced. They were going to charge me $300+ for the part and $700 for labor. Said NO. They did manage to let me shift 135 again but they said it will lock me out eventually. While waiting to order the part, it has blocked me from the gears about 4 times now and I noticed that when I leave the car parked on 2nd for a couple of hours and go in R then go N, it lets me use all the gears again. I don't know why but my guess is that it stretches the cable back in place. Good temporary fix if the car is your DD. Hope this helps
