I can't put my car into any gears at all. I drove my car today and 4 hours later I tried to go out with my and I reliazed that I was not able to put the car into first gear. It won't even push up or down. Seems like it is jammed. But the strange thing is I can put it into gear when my car is turned off. So when the engine is off I can put it into any gear but not when the car is turned on. So now my car is left outside of my house I have no choice to get a truck to drag my car back to Toyota. Any idea what it could be?
Thanks.... |

You can get a good idea as to when the clutch is going to need replacing by feeling how high on the pedal release the clutch engages. What i mean is if u sit on a level area in ur car, give it no gas and just slowly life up the clutch...the amount of pedal you release is directly related to how much clutch u have left. Low pedal engagement means newer clutch, higher means older (worn).
Now the only thing he coulda checked under the hood was: A) Shift linkage (which physically prevents ur stick from moving properly) B) Clutch fluid You could have had something interfering with the linkage, and if they moved it, they would be able to use the car. I would say, DONT GO TO THE DEALER!!! Drive ur car around, be attentive to it, but dont get anything done right now.
