Not shifting..... AT ALL!!! Help

[Chrispd100]

OK so last night after a fairly short trip to a friends I came home and parked my Versa. Then 2 mins later got back in it to re-park it and it would not fall into any gears. I have the 6 speed manual. and with the clutch pushed in as far as it will go nothing will happen. It will not let me put it into any gear at all. If i leave it in gear and then try to start the car it just pulls the car in what ever gear its in. Can someone help me with this?

Sounds like you need a new clutch, how many miles do you have on it?

[Chrispd100]

But if it was the clutch i would still be able to put it in gear it would just slip and not go anywhere.... The problem is i can't get it into gear.

If i turn the car off and put it into gear (while its not running) and then start it, it pulls the car. The clutch is fine on the car. Brand new clutch. But for some reason it will not go into gear. The pedal or the level that disengages the clutch does not work... I need to know how to fix this.

What you're saying doesn't really make sense. You can put it in gear when the car is off, but not when it's on? If it was the pedal or cable, you wouldn't be able to put it in gear period, much less when you turn it off. I don't know of any electronic device attached that would prevent anything from engaging. Any weird smells, noises, e.t.c.? Driving habits?

sounds like a throwout bearing not sure what they call them lately......i'm pretty sure you have a hydraulic clutch and can bet it is a simple adjustment @ the dealership......all i got.

speaking of this, for my 6 speed it some times locks me out of 1st and only 1st gear when im in second and i try to shift back to 1st because im almost at a complete stop it locks me out so i cannot put it in 1st. is that normal??

Any manual I've ever driven will pretty much lock you out of 1st once you get moving. Imagine if you hit 1st instead of 3rd, the results would be much more dramatic than a 5-3 miss. You need to be at full stop to get it back in. The Versa is geared so that even if your creeping, 2nd is ok to start accelerating.

Chris, I want to sell mine. Ask around.

[Chrispd100]

I don't see any hoses or anything that go to the transmission... is it possible that its an electric clutch?

thanks for clearing that up

Sounds like master cylinder or slave cylinder has gone out....try pumping the clutch pedal and see if it helps and last I would think the clutch but if it happened that quick I would guess that something in the Hydraulic system has gone out.

Thats pretty strange. My 6sp MT feels like it has plates or something blocking the gears when I try to shift without enough clutch. Sometimes ill be on the fringe and it will let me shift before its ready and i get that horrible grinding sound

I think its an anti-grinding your gears mechanism....

but i know nothing about MT!! lol

that has happend to me, my clutch cable broke for no reason. atleast that was my problem

[Chrispd100]

OK i figured out what the problem was.... Some how air got into the lines and it just needed to be bleed.... not to be mean or anything but you lot were completely useless.... thanks anyways

I don't think you can call people useless when you did ask them for help. If you come on here w/ a question and are panicked and ask for help, then you should be willing to accept others opinions of what the problem could be. Everyone who replied was just trying to help you out.

[robj80]

I think instead of attacking those that help you you meant to write:

"I found out it was air in the system. But how would air get into a closed system?"

I highly suggest you figure that out. I too had the same problem as you once and it was not air in the system. I changed the slave and master, adjusted the clutch pedal and eventually had to change the clutch. It all ended up being from a broken clutch disc and TOB. So all the suggestions were great on in this thread.

i remember when i was driving to miami from chicago i was locked out of 2nd, 3rd, and 5th, but i think this was becouse i was in 6th for so long, it did resolve it self after the trip

Here's an idea:

Find the little "Log Out" button, click it, and don't ever log back in. If you're such a master mechaninc and figured it out on your own, why bother posting. You asked a question, and people offered ideas. They may have been wrong, but there's no need for people like you to then call them useless.

Locking, enough bashing.
