6 speed trans locked up?
I am inquiring for a friend and this is very little to go on but maybe somebody will have an idea? She said when entering a roundabout she went to downshift and the car locked up. She said she was able to poke something in the hole on the shifter and it ran okay for a mile or two but now it sounds like the transmission is coming apart. I realize this is very big but it's all I know at this point does anybody have any idea but they could Point me towards?

Talked with her briefly. She down shifted to 2nd gear, when she let the clutch out the wheels locked up, killed the engine and skidded to a stop. Even after pushing the clutch back in it stayed locked up and wouldnt roll. She said she put a pin or a pen in the factory hole on the shifter (?) and the clutch disengaged, she was able to restart and it drove perfectly for a few minutes. She has pneumonia now so its hard talking to her but she said now it feels like it is going into gear and us going to go but doesnt? I didnt get an answer if that means the rpms go up and nothing or if its locked up? What is the hole on the shifter for and what would cause it to lock up that it has a factory reset of some kind?

This is the strangest thing I've read on here in the nine years I've been on here.
Re: 6 speed trans locked up?
This is the strangest thing I've been asked to diagnose. She lives at the very end of a road 15 miles out of town and its het only transportation. I feel for her so trying to help but her knowledge of cars is limited to the ignition. Stereo volume and gas cap which adds to the problem...lol
