so on my way to work this morning, coming out of a turn onto the main road. i shifted up to second, and it wasn't there!!! went back to first, it was ok. back to second, still not there. third was ok, fourth was not there, and fifth was ok.
it's happened a couple times before, but the even gears always worked after i wiggled the shifter around. today, i couldn't get 2nd or 4th to engage.
i think it may just be loose shifter cables. at least, i hope so.

any thoughts? i know how to fix the cables, but first i gotta get the shift knob off... seems to be different on every car i end up owning...

how many miles on the redline? if you're still in the 30-day, whatever number miles thing, i'd say just trade it for another redline...

[SonicION]

nope. i got it used, but it's within factory warranty still. 8500 miles on it. hopefully it's just a loose cable, but if not, i should be able to get it fixed under warranty.

[aeroblu22]

since it's under warranty, personally, i'd just take it to the dealer and tell em to fix it. i've done that a few times with my car.

*edit* no sense trying to do it yourself and then have them go all bitchy on you. just my .02

don't bust you're ass when you're already paying somebody else to do it
