New Transmission Stuck In Gear

[PGFracing]

I just spent 7 hours installing a new used transmission in my car because the oil seal blew out on the original. Any how the car is stuck in gear I can't shift it. Is there a way to fix this without taking the transmission off.

Thanks for any help.

Try bleeding the clutch at the slave cylinder.

If you own an MSP and bought a non-MSP tranny you now have an open diff, and weaker shift forks. Unless of course it has an aftermarket LSD in it.

Please clarify. What type of tranny into what car? That will help a bit.

the tranny internals in the MSP are just the same as all the rest of the 02.5+ G trannys, only the LSD is what makes it different

Off track a bit, but is there anything visible on the outside of the later & stronger G-series that would let you know which one it was?

If you're stuck in gear it's usually a broken shifter fork.

It can also be loose input/output shafts on the trans.

werd. Repairs on mine (including price of dropping the tranny) were like $1600 or something, thankfully that was covered under warranty for me.

I put in a stock 2.0 Protege. Turns out it was my pilot bearing even though I blew a seal it didn't damage my transmission. I'm in the process of tearing the old one I bought out and reinstalling my original transmission. I thought it was my transmission whining, but it turned out to make the same noise after I installed the new/used tranny. So yes I wasted 7-8 hours in the process. The only benefit, is I'm becoming fast at switching transmissions. It will take me about 4 hours this time I suspect.

Glad to hear you got it figured out. I've been hearing more about bad pilot bearings lately. Good thing I swapped a new one in with the clutch. (knocks on wood)
