Gearbox locked up?

I spun the tires the other night and suddenly after that i couldn't get it into any gears...it locked up on me....kinda scary hnoes: ...has anyone had anything like this happen or know what might have caused it?....i think someone said that the bugeye wrx had tranny issues but not sure about the specifics.....any help would be much appreciated!!

 

crap... is it still locked?

 

yea is it still locked up?

 

dang scott, if its still locked your in trouble. if its unlocked i think you will be alright, if your still under warranty i would have it checked out though.

 

just checked everything out...fluids...obdII reader....everything is cool...not locked and no codes?

 

Its fine now?? Maybe the linkage was binding? Hopefully you werent on pavement when you were spinning tires anyway!

 

i wasn't spining the tires that crazy....i was on pavement with new tires but it was wet...and i guess it was an aggressive launch....so you think it's the linkage?...should i have it checked out?....is it something that a warranty would cover?

 

yeah i can't wait to see how much i'm gonna get milked for....

 

wish i had warranty 86k miles isnt covered.

I would have that looked at though man because if you ever go to the track how are you gonna launch?

 

Which gear is it locked into? Same thing happened to my car. I had to pay 2500 at the stealership to get it fixed. Could simply be the linkage, could be that you broke a gear. Kind of hard to tell to be honest. But i hope its nothing.

 

sounds like the shifter fork inside the tranny case.

 

Tomorrow (tues).....see what they say...maybe arange for an appointment.....wish me luck.. :hs:

 

good luck scott

 

I'll be getting tuned. See you tomorrow.

 

I'll probably be there till noonish depending on the tune and meeting up with my parents.

 

I'll be there at 7:30 AM.....they're going to change the tranny fluid or whatever...atleast $100 in the hole already...i'm sure the tab with increase...i never leave there without atleast spending $300...gotta pay to play i guess

 

i need to go over there sometime myself. Im gonna do my timing belt in a month i think. Tranny fluid couldnt hurt to be changed. I have that royal purple and it grinds a lot. Im switching to redline.

good luck today bro.

 

didn't make it, had to work late and overslept...see if they'll take me tomorrow

 

what happened to this did you go to the dealer or it fix it self?

 

Yeah im kinda curious what the cause of it was too...

 

i called SOG and they said they could change my tranny fluid out for around $100 dollars, but not sure it was the fix and didn't have a car for me at the time so they really couldn't investigate further without me leaving it for a while...it's my daily driver and didn't want spend $100 just yet so i didn't have anything done with it....it drives and shifts fine now....i think i'm going to change out the tranny fluid soon regardless..
