2010 MCS I drove it home on Friday and parked it. On Sunday evening I get in it to go to work, start it up and it won't go into gear, any gear. OK, then I turn it off and work the shifter and it goes into all gears no problem. So I start it up again and try to get it into gear and again, nothing. I turn it off again and place it in reverse and start the car up, whereupon it stays in gear and lurches backwards. I am able to control it and back it out of the driveway and put it into first gear, and it goes in very easily. I take it around the block to see how it will do before committing to my 45 minute drive to work. Almost 3/4 of the way around the block, it refuses to go into any gear and I coast it home and park it. Does this sound like a master or slave cylinder issue? Fluid level is fine and I cannot see any leaking around either of the cylinders. Clutch was replacedoing about 2 two years 20,000 miles ago. About 3-4 months ago I was having a difficult time getting the transmission to go into 1, 3, and 5 gears. I lubricated the shifter and it didn't really help but it slowly got easier shifting into those gears so I thought maybe it just need some time for the lube to work it's way in. Now I am thinking that was just the early stages of WHT is going on now. What fo you guys think?
