Consumer Description

AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT I WAS SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS ON MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WHEN I WENT TO SHIFT IN TO 2ND GEAR, I MISSED 2ND AND ACCIDENTALLY WENT INTO 4TH BUT REALIZED IT BEFORE LETTING OFF THE CLUTCH, IT THEN GOT STUCK AND WOULD NOT MOVE FROM THAT GEAR. I COULD NOT GET ANYWHERE TO GET IT FIXED SO I WAS FORCED TO SIT ON THE SIDE OF A MAJOR ROAD IN 20 DEGREE WEATHER FOR MORE THAN 45 MINUTES. *JB
