I have a 2004 Auto RX-8

I was making a u-turn, and couldn't complete it, so I went in reverse, then went off to drive (manual mode) when I saw that the car was in Neutral, and the the shift **** was on manual mode.

No the shift **** is stuck, and I've tried just about everything a normal guy can do to try and fix it. Anybody have any idea? Before I spend a buttload of cash sending it to the dealer?

 

Does the car go in to park?

 

That use to happen to me once in a while but it hasnt happened for 6 months.. try to disconect the battery to reset the computers. but make sure you leave it discontected for like 30 mins at least

 

No unfurtunateny, It doesn't it's just locked

 

And then shift it back into normal? or do I connect the battery again and then try shifting back to normal?

 

it fixed my problem. Its worth a try

 

Ugh, no success. my mechanic says it's a tranny problem, so I'm gonna pay around 2000$

 

did you check the fluid?
