4th gear stuck!!! HELP
4th gear stuck!!! HELP I was driving home from work, shifting normally, not abusively. Suddenly could not get shifter out of 4th gear. I tried pumping clutch, even turned off motor. Finally, brute strength pushed out shifter. Car drove home fine after that.
this past weekend, just did a fluid change (4 qts Dex 3 ) and added B&M Ripper Shifter.
Im stunned...any ideas or is this a tell tale sign of worse to come.
thanks

Yep, good ole stock stamped slider keys. I had this happen to me. The first 3 or so times I was able to get it out. Then, one night, it was there for good. I had to drive it home in 4th running stop signs and everything. I tore it apart to find the slider all broken in the syncro. Billet sliders and some other parts later, and she was better than ever.
I am able to do the removal and reinstall of the physical trans myself, but $ wise, to have it rebuilt, what's the approximate rate?
Do you think the shifting problem will go hand in hand as to how hard the car is shifted?
I try to drive nicely...helpfully I can get quite a few more thousand miles out of it, the car has 84K. I just have one grudge race at the end of the month, other than that, its a "fast" daily driver.

I would drop that race and get it rebuilt ASAP before you damage even more things. Try t56rebuilds.com they are a sponsor here. Probably rebuilt would be 1000-1200 range if you are doing install/removal yourself.
