Celica Manual Transmission

[wvstephens]

I have a question, I hope someone can help. I have a 2002 Celica the transmission is manual 5 speed. I shifted in 1st gear and now it is stuck. The clutch depresses fine and the car will move forward but will not come out of 1st gear. I unhooked the linkage and tried to shift it out of gear at the transmission and the shift arm on the transmission will not move. I hope some one can help.

Uh-oh. Sounds like a bent selector rod,. Possibly the selector fork`s got jammed. It`ll be a dismantling job. :(

Hmm. I hate gearboxes too. Far too many cogs n bits. Good luck.

I was offered the same 'fork' theory for my 162 gearbox after i refitted it.

symptom was going into gear but not fully engaging and screaming noise like the clutch slipping.

due to ill health I haven't been able to get back to the project and by the time i'm fit summer will be nearly over.

hope you get it sorted mate.
