I need help I have an 05 with a manual transmission stuck in 6th gear. The car has 10k miles on it. Has anyone had this issue If so what did you do. Thank you

 

How does the clutch feel?

 

The clutch feel normal. I have owned the car from day one. As you can see I don't drive it very often. The night it happened. I was going down the highway when I went to exit. Tbe shifter was stuck in 6th gear. It somehow popped out of gear after about 15 minutes of trying at the offramp. Drove the car for about another 15 or 20 miles of county road driving. going in and out of 6th gear with no issues. Went to go home goi g down the highway. went to get off and it was stuck in 6th gear again. I have been pushing with a lot of force. It will not come out of 6th gear. Had to have the car towed home.

Debris in the linkage, frozen 'slush'? Get under there and see if something came loose or jammed in the linkage any. Good luck!

When it was stuck, did you try and bump the throttle while holding slight pressure on the shifter when slowing down.

If it works fine that way, then I would look at the clutch and slave cylinder, if not then looking at linkage and trans.

Shifting out of gear without the clutch only works when the engine and the drivetrain is in sync and not having pressure locked on the gears.
when you hit the sweet spot it will slide out every time.
When I am coming to a stop in mine, what I always do.

Same way on a trans in a semi, you don't use the clutch.

 

Any updates ?

The clutch master cylinder seals go out with not enough use?

 

I just drained my transmission and this socket screw fell out of it (so it would seem) maybe it happens with our transmissions haha
