Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

I was driving home from work this past Friday and tried to downshift from 3rd to second. I felt a kind of pop in the shifter and it went completely loose but I stayed in 3rd. The car stayed in that gear and would not shift into anything else. I called service from my driveway and they told me to call roadside assistance and have it towed in. Roadside was very nice and within an hour and a half a flat bed arrived and took it away. My service advisor told me they would take a look on Monday and if necessary have a loaner for me by Monday night. He thinks that the cable has popped from the shifter.

POST 2Original post

Possibly agree with the above but it's more likely to be a broken shift link on the bottom of the shifter.

POST 3Original post

They have had time to look at it and believe it is a snapped cable. Part coming overnight from Atlanta and should be able to pick it tomorrow night.

POST 4Original post

Happened to me twice, left me stranded, looks that the second time they got it right. Cheers.
