Well, I was on the way home from the movies and my shifter decided not to let me shift into 5th gear or reverse (it just won't go in)! What could be the problem, because all of the other gears are fine?

Try pulling the leather boot off, i heard there are little rubber glides between the gears that can sometimes interfere..
i only heard that happening between 1st and second but who knows...
Good thing 5th gear is just a sleeper gear.*Matt

I pulled the shifter completely out and I used a rod to try to put it in 5th gear/reverse but it still won't go in those gears! :(Originally posted by StrtRacer98:

BTW, is there supposed to be a very little amount of fluid in "the box" where the shifter goes into?

I found out it's the input shaft and bearings. It's gonna cost an arm and a leg unless I can replace it myself. But I don't have all the time or resources to get it done. :(

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...2 weeks ago -
Not much going on, replaced my Kenwood double din stereo with a Pioneer double din, the Kenwood had problems. Then replaced my power inverter for my reverse...3 weeks ago
