I was driving home from work yesterday and I came to a stop at a light and put the car in neutral. When I tried to shift into 1st - the shifter wouldn't move.
I wasn't driving hard or doing anything crazy to the clutch - I was just going home driving "normally". I tried turning the car off and restarting a couple of time but the shifter still wouldn't budge.
While I waited for a friend to come check out the car, I tried restarting several times but no luck.
Finally, after about 45 min. my friend arrived and I restarted one more time and then magically, the shifter went into gear. I drove straight to the dealership. They said that they couldn't find anything wrong with the clutch/tranny/shifter. Basically, they told me that they had no clue what happened and that the car was safe to drive as far as they were concerned.
Does anyone have any ideas about what happend?
