Hey my transmission is stuck in reverse. Backed out of my driveway to go to work, went forward down my block but it was blocked off for road work. So i threw it back in reverse, pulled all the way down the block to go around the other way and now the shifter wont come out. car is a 99 GT w/ T45 (67K miles). Anything i can do to get it out? Thanks in advance.

 

hope ya have a warranty, but i'd take it to a shop and ask them about it.

 

happened to me a few times. i had to play with the clutch and force it out

 

Yea I got it out, had to take my shifter off and pry it out w/ 2 big prybars. It took alot of force, i actually thought i was gonna break something. At least I made it to work for half a day. So where can i get a cheap tranny?

 

thats weird i know a guy with a t45 that also has issues getting stuck in reverse...my tr3650 doesn't but it does have some (gear clash/notchy) in 2nd and 3rd when its cold (not quite grinding)

 

you think there would be a TSB posted from ford for this, seems to be a more common problem than usual.
