Question for you guys, i driving down the parkway and go to put the car into 5th gear and it "pops" out of 5th. 1-4 no problems, i didnt try 6th. So at first im thinking bad clutch, but if that were the case this "poping" out of gear would happen in every gear. So now im thinking internal issue, like a bad fork or key. Anyone else experience this? So I'll start my day checking tranny fluid and grab a magnet to see if any metal attaches to it. I dought its a simple shifter adjustment but I'll kill 10 minutes checking that. Looks like this car might be put away early for winter
