01s 6-speed transmission issue
ok so, my transmission is acting really weird...and it's really hard to explain...but i'll try. alright, so it seems like it's stuck in gear. naturally, i assumed a cable broke, so i took the console apart and lifted up the back end. i took the cables off the transmission and began moving them. with the cables released, the shifter moves in all directions just like it's supposed to (not sure if that's considered a definitive cable diagnostic, but it seems right). now here's the weird part...
if i push the shifter foreward (with cables attached to tranny), into the 1st or 3rd gear/gate, there's no side-side movement....which is how it's supposed to be.
if i move the shifter into neutral (with cables attached to tranny), it will only move to the right....when pulled to the left, it feels like it's jammed (pulling it into the reverse direction).
if i move the shifter down (with cables attached to tranny), into the 2nd or 4th gear/gate, the shifter will now move to the left...but not the right.
i'm really worried the problem is the tranny itself. i removed the cables from the transmission after the above "test," and i was have the same situation with the levers on the transmission (that the cables attach to). i've seen/or heard of a manual trans breaking and getting stuck in a gear. i know that generally, you'll lose either positive or negative gears. i guess i should mention that recently, i've been having a few issues with 2nd gear. i believe the synchro was going bad...it would grind SOMETIMES when i tried to put it in 2nd.
anyone have any ideas on more things to try before i go to the dealer????
