Want this question answered?
Possibley, the Clutch sensor, or the transmission is going.
Yes, but there are several dozen other problems that are more likely
you could have of torn a spider gear
bad synchronizer
Yes, quite easily. It is highly unlikely to cause any damage
If it isn't slipping it is downshifting to 3rd gear
having a problem with my rebuilt trans, i put it in everything right but its leaking from the or around sensor on the panssager side
Low gearbox fluid could be start.
Your Transmission
faulty speed sensor in the transmission
3rd gear is bad,must put new gear in or replace transmission.
If it's always stay in 3rd gear then the trans is in ``safe mode``. Instead of not working at all, It put it self in 3rd gear so you can move the car. Sometimes it is cause by a loose connection or a rusted connection of a harness to the transmission. but It can be worse (internal problems) Good luck!
