Ok, here is the deal. In February I had the whole transmission rebuilt. New flywheel, clutch, bearings, synchros, master cylinder, etc... After a couple of months one day I exited the freeway and the shifted into what I thought was neautral. The stick was in the position of neutral but when I released the clutch the car stalled. The stick would not move into any gear and grinded when ever I tried. It didn't even have any slop either. Pretty much stuck in place. I restart the car and it now everything is fine. I take the car to a mechanic and they replace the slave cylinder saying that it was leaking, pretty much the only thing not done on the rebuild. And they inform me one of my transmission mounts is bad. Everything is fine for a while then yesterday again when exiting the freeway, I can't get into gear without grinding and the same symptoms persist. Today I drive around the neighborhood and the car seems fine. What is going on??????

That is really weird. I would take it back to who ever rebuilt the transmission. Had friend of mine who had his 1g DSM rebuilt and had problems from day one. Long story short waited and now the guy won't honor his work.

I would but they only had a 90 day warranty. I got about six months until my SR goes in. Think I can coast around town?:D Maybe if I cut holes in the floor board I can pull a Fred Flintsone. (Picture feet moving madly)

Hmmm. I wouldn;t have gotten a transmission rebuild if you were going sr in the first place. Crawl under your car and have someone press the clutch in and see if that fork is moving underneath the transmission. If it's not, bad MS
