Is my shifter bad?
I have to let you guys know first of all I am newbie poster so don't hold that against me. I have 98 z28 and I was in line at wendy's last night and my shifter popped out of gear and when I tried to shift it back into gear it took both hands to get it back into gear. When I got it to the garage shifting from gear to gear was very difficult. Almost like you have power steering and then you don't and it takes everything you have to get it turned. It goes from gear to gear but you have to put some weight and very percise with the shifts.
I was wondering if that sounded like the shifter itself maybe the plastic cup at the bottom of the shifter or something. Again I know I sould like an idiot but I am very confused!

You could try removing your shifter and re seating it but I think it would be a pretty optimistic thought to think thats the problem.
It sounds more to me like you might be having tranny problems.

im having a similar problem it is hard to shift and my sometimes will grind 4th or 6th and is almost impossible to get into reverse i have to turn the car off to get it in.....but my car also will start rolling when i am at a dead stop while the clutch is all he way in....so the clutch isnt fully disengaging so im hoping itsd only the clutch problem i think i need to shim it or something still trying to figure tha part out
