My tranny just died on Monday:
I was turning left on a street, and I went through 1st gear, tried to put it into 2nd, and I was just stuck in neutral...coasting. You can move the stick in a 360 and hit no gears. The clutch pedal feels normal. The shop I took it to said that the linkage is fine, so they need to pull the tranny to look inside.(shift fork maybe)
They quoted me $1,100 before parts. Am I being ripped off?
specs: 1999 Mercury Mystique LS (v6)
37,000 miles
I'm not sure if the transmission is under warranty...anyone?
P.S. I drive it like it's stolen...and I took it to the drag strip twice.
