chuckstang Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Only twice that I can think of right now has this happened but both within the last couple months. I belive both times the shifter was stuck in 1st gear for maybe just a second or 2 but long enough to notice. Only thing I noticed as well, when the clutch gets hotter after driving for a very long time the release point seems to get closer to the floor Car still passes all the hiss tests and even the one where you quickly put it in 1st then reverse and so on as well as shifts fine when driving it hard. I guess my real question is, what started happening to those that had their clutch/tranny go before it actually went? I understand some just had all out failure all at once but I am guessing some must have slowly showed signs. These signs I have not really heard mentioned though thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingram4868 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Getting stuck in 1st or reverse is mentioned in the first paragraph of the TSB. Keep the tow card and cellphone with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckstang Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Oh now that is just fantastic. I thought it said it could be tough to get into 1st or reverse, never realized it mentioned you might get stuck in gear. Thanks So, one day, you just might not get it out at all I take it? I can go into all gears perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bear Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I notice my tranny sort of sticks when the tranny is cold. But mine is a 09 and I was led to understand that some of the 09's will have a tranny issue and some won't based on assembly dates but I am unsure where to look for my build date.

KCMO-GT500 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Chuck, remember that this is a hydraulic clutch system, and if it takes the whole pedal run to move the clutch off of the flywheel, then something is hanging up the clutch (resistance)......go ahead and get the tsb for your piece of mind......
