Some 944 owners report a similar problem and often it is just the shifter linkage that has become loose.

Felt something odd going down the interstate and pulled over. After cranking back up, car operates normally in first gear, but stalls if I try to start in any other gear, including reverse.

Shifter feels normal, but have to fight it a little to get in gear other than first.

If I take it out of gear, it will not roll.

Seems like transmission is staying in first. Maybe shift fork is broken?

Car is a 94 968. 258k on car and tranny, unknown miles on clutch. Tranny was apart maybe 2 years ago for synchro in 3rd gear.


Thanks for any help!
