Re: [DML] Manual transmission is stuck in 1st.

Dan,
 
Did you jack the car up and get under it to check out the linkage going  into 
the tranny? Maybe something is broken or came apart.  Also check the  pivot 
bolt - It is in a hole in the frame about in the middle of the car that  
connects two levers that run front to back.  This bolt is a notorious  source of 
transmission problems.  
 
I am a little confused though - do you mean the gear shifter will not budge  
out of the 1st gear position, or can you move the shifter through all the  
motions but it won't change any gears?
 
If you see nothing wrong with the linkage, then prepare to drop the  
transmission.
