2006: “Transmission began to sound like a turbocharger while riding in 5th gear. When I came to a stop light the shift pedal was limp, I had to pull in the clutch handle to stop the vehicle. By applying and releasing the clutch I was able to get home. The transmission is stuck in gear and the shifter mechanism does not function at all. In order to find out what is causing this I will have to pull the entire motor out and split the bottom half of the crank case. …”
