Consumer Description

I STOPPED IN A DRIVEWAY AND TRIED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THE CAR HAS A MANUAL 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THE ONLY 2 GEARS AVAILABLE WERE 3RD, NEUTRAL, AND 4TH. INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT ONE OF THE 2 SHIFT CABLES CAME OFF THE SHIFT LEVER ON THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENED IN A DRIVEWAY, BUT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC, RESULTING IN NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE.
