Locked in gear?

I was actually driving normal today compared to most and going from 4th to 5th there was an abnormally long grind followed by the shifter being stuck where it would be for 5th and 6th. I managed to push the shifter back to neutral but the trans apparently is stuck in gear I can put it in other gears and hear them lock in but if you try to drive it doesn't move then try's to lock the shifter in that gear. I've done 2 rebuilds on this trans so I know the different feelings between gears, synchros, and one time my 3rd/4th shift fork going but this one is different it didn't gradually break it was quite sudden. There's a video on my Instagram @zackgoeswhaaa but idk I'm kinda lost on this one

Since it's very easy to pull the shift selector I'd pull that first and make sure everything there is in good shape. If it is then you'd have to pull the trans

Ahh Damn man I have never had this happen to me.. hope some one can chime in

Well I can't watch any video cause I don't have intsagram but have first thing to check is gonna be the shift cables to be sure they are moving properly.Then obviously the fluid level and condition and the selector otherwise sounds like you might be dropping that trans if those things check out .

Fluid was metallic to say the least I'm pulling the trans right now should be interesting I'll post pics once it's out

In for pics too

Ehh it happens if I didn't have another guy pulling his motor out of his car I would have it on the ground by now. This is why I keep spare parts I use to work at a honda dealership and kept the internals out of an 08 si trans that had a cracked case

Ok so I found the problem my slave cylinder bolts sheered the heads clean off of them I'll post pics when I get home but obviously it did something to the inside of the trans too so I'll separate the case anyway

Attachment 327 so here's the slave cyl if you can't see it clearly I know I'm not a good photographer the left bolt isn't even there and the right one has the head sheered off

Saw this on instagram last night - that is quite a predicament! Did you have both bolts in originally, or have you ever changed your slave/master cylinder? Anything you can think of that may have caused this?

I changed my slave over the summer sometime I had both bolts in snug. shortly after that was when my shift cable stretched smh lol. Maybe -20 degree temps plus innovative mounts was just too much vibration for the cold bolts.

It's had the hybrid racing master setup for almost 2 years now so I doubt that did anything

It's definitely possible. This time around, use Loctite!

In those temps anythings likely. Gears could have been worn from stresses you've out on them other days racing ect . and then we had cold temps here lately that didn't help the gears at all. Along with the upgraded clutch pressure. Snap bolts off or even broken a tooth

yea I always plan for the worst when tearing my trans apart. even if it ends up being something simple i prefer to tear it all down to make sure everything else is perfect. as for the bolts snapping ive never seen that happen before but then again ive never seen my town ever hit -20 before either. so just little things so far i have to work today till 8pm so ill go back and tear the case off tonight and see what the inside is going to look like.

You should take pics when you mate the tranny back to the motor and make a DIY for us!

3/4th fork is demolished lol I pulled it all apart and forgot to take pics if I'm at my shop tomorrow I'll snap a picture. But I'm working 5am to 5pm so I doubt it. metal is everywhere and I got chips on multiple gears so this got even more interesting. If anyone knows a company that makes stronger forks definitely let me know

I've never heard nor seen that before

Yea gonna need pics. I doubt the shift fork was the first thing to go. Not heard much issue besides worn or bent... Never broken. But geez.

Yea I know. It's bad.

figured you snapped a fork... how are the gears though?

nothing too major 4th had some edges of teeth mising and 3rd had a few nicks in it so i swapped out those with my spare gears. the case has some scratches and grooves from where the blocking ring popped and whipped it a few times. After i finished the counter shaft i was too tired to start pressing out the mainshaft gears and im busy tonight so ill see if i get the motivation to tear it down tomorrow haha.

if you need any info or tranny parts to aid in your rebuild .... LMK. I do these all day.

Attachment 331Attachment 330Well I ordered my fork today wish I had seen your post earlier k20. While I'm waiting I started making a custom intake out of one piece of Perrin intercooler piping and I cut up my injen CAI to make the final bend work
