2010 SS M6 wont go into gears

![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
whats up guys, ok so i have a 2010 Camaro SS with 37,xxx miles, 6spd, and as of this morning car will only go into 1st,3rd,and 5th gear (it will go into reverse also) but it will not engage into 2cd,4th, or 6th. so all the "top" gears it goes in perfectly fine, and the bottom do not go in. At about 10,xxx miles a hurst shifter was put it, that is the only mod(mechanical wise) other than that completely stock down to the paper air filter, so any ideas on what it can be? I do not drive it hard, clutch feels perfect in the gears it does go into, but as i said, the bottom it just will not engage, the shifter will just go all the way down and hit the console as if its connected to anything at the bottom, but my guess is if the shifter was disconnected it would not go into any gears at all. Any ideas or info would be greatly appreciated, and dealership wont cover it cause of the shifter, so if nothing else this weekend ill have the stock one put back in then take to dealer but maybe something i can check before doing that.thanks

only thing I would suggest is pulling the console off and examining the shifter. I cant think of anything internal that would only block out 2-4-6 seeing as they are all on different synchro clusters. I'm not sure how your hurst is but a lot of times on t56's the aftermarket shift stops on shifters can come loose and then prevent you from either selecting 1-3-5 or 2-4-6

2010 is a TR6060, not a T56. The affects of a poorly-adjusted shift stop are the same....exactly what you describe. Do yourself a favor and full back off the stops....that right, make them non -functional. They will do absolutely no good and can cause what you are experiencing & worse.

there are stops so you dont slam the gears(as hard). There are two of them. One on the from of the shifter (1,3,&5) and one on the back(2,4,&6). Usually there is a nut on the back side and a screw set towards the stick. Back the nut off a little and pull the screw out. Not a lot but maybe a half to full turn. See where that gets you. I dont drive or own a new one but am sure its simular. If I am wrong, I am sure someone else will chime in with better info. The hurst shifter might have a thicker shaft than your original stick....lol
