    I have an 03, 95k. When i left work Thursday everything was fine. I then rolled over a speed bump in a parking lot in 1st gear and as i went to shift into second, i couldn't even move the shifter all the way down, like something is blocking it. I turned the car off, used some force to get it down into 2nd as far as i could and then started it, let off the clutch, it grinds then pops out of gear.But even using force it didn't seem like it was fully engaging the gear. It will shift into all the other gears fine. I took the console off thinking just maybe some change fell in there and was blocking it. One symptom i was noticing lately was if i was under FT and went to shift into 2nd it wouldn't go in till i waited for maybe 10 seconds and let the RPMs drop and slowed down a bit. New transmission time ?

    Loose shift linkages can cause this.

    Driving it around today I was able to get it into second if I slam it down hard and fast and it will stay in gear. Double clutching doesn't help at all. Hopefully its just the linkage.
