I've been fighting some shifting issues with my 200k mile 2015 Manual CX5. It started with shifter movement with changes in acceleration and notchy gears and has been getting worse. It's totally out of commission now, I haven't been able to get it in reverse, 2nd or 4th at all now (this varies, at times it won't go in 1st/3rd, but reverse is consistently an issue). When cold, if I depress the clutch while in neutral the car will start to inch forward as if it's in gear.
Done:
Replaced all motor mounts
Replaced Trans Fluid
Bled clutch and verified slave movement (hydraulics seem to be working fine)
Checked shift linkage and bushings, all good
Disconnected linkage at transmission and I still can't manually put the car in 2nd/4th (I can feel the gate, but it won't drop in gear)
If anyone has any experience with this, or has any suggestions to look at please let me know. I'm assuming the transmission needs to come out at this point, hoping it's just a clutch, but the clutch has never slipped and I hate to just keep throwing money at it. Are these manual transmissions pretty robust or known to have issues? Thanks for the help!
