Default Gear Problem

Hi All,

I have a 2001 (December) Neon RT. It is a five speed manual. On way home, I suddenly had no 3rd gear. 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th gears work fine. Car goes into 3rd gear, but its like you have put the car in neutral and then tried to pull away. Any ideas?

Sounds like a synchronizer is gone...

Do you get to 3rd by doing double-clutch? i.e. clutch pedal down, lever to N, clutch pedal up,
clutch pedal down, lever to 3, clutch up?

Hello,

Nope, it goes into 3rd as though everything was normal. you don't know there is a roblem til you bring clutch up and accelerate! Its odd that all other gears work. Is a synchronizer expensive. The car has only done 36k!
