A few trans issues

**Gohard** · 08-22-2010, 04:30 PM

Car is a 02 ws6 m6, 25k miles, stock clutch/hydraulics/trans/etc.

I did a good WOT run (speed shifting NOT power shifting which means I let off the throttle to 1/2 way or less in between shifts) 1st -4th and I let off in the middle of 4th. I press the clutch and tried to put it in neutral but it was stuck. I didn't want to force it out and I can feel it want to grind if I do. So with the clutch pressed all the way, I slow it down to about 30mph and let off the clutch. Press it again and it comes out of 4th normally. If I granny shift and let off the throttle completely when I shift, I don't have any issues with it getting stuck in gear!

Also, when in 2nd or 4th i hear this vibrating in those gears only. It's really quite and I only hear with the windows up.

Lastly, when normal driving I press the clutch I get this loud clunk sounds like a big piece a metal just smacks. This is when pressing the clutch under 2k rpm in any gear. I hear it every time I do a 1-2 shift and when the skip shift was still on, the 1-4 shift too.

If your shifter got stuck in gear, I'm afraid your synchronizer keys are probably either broken, or on their way out.

So is that a problem inside the trans? It would have to be taken apart I'm guessing?

Another thing is sometimes I can't put it in gear when at a stop. I just like to row through the gears sometimes at a light and it won't go in 2nd or 1st, I release and press the clutch again and goes in gear.
