my brother's 96 gs-t will sometimes pop out of 1st gear all by itself when you go to take off. he went ahead and paid the 40 dollars for o'brien mitsu to check it out, and they seem to think it's crankwalk. neither one of us has heard of this being a symptom, so we figure that there's bound to be someone on this site that would know for sure. any help you can give would be appreciated. thanx.

sound like he has a bad synchro. my car popped out of 4th and decided to rebuild the tranny. never knew popping out of gear was a sign of crankwalk

is there any possibility that it could be a problem with the shifter cable? like maybe if it had gotten stretched?

Sounds like a drivetrain issue more than crankwalk to me. If the linkage isn't all the way into gear, misadjusted, etc then it could pop out. More likely would be a transmission issue (needing rebuild) though.

Hard to say without driving it but I definately wouldn't look to crankwalk first if those are the only symptoms.

Is he noticing any other CW symptoms to make that seem like the cause?

it's crankwalk get rid of that turd 7 bolt.....
Actually I havent heard of that being a symptom before.

yeah, yeah, yeah...i know 7 bolts are turds, but i can't afford anything else...at least not right now.

plus, i already had the tranny rebuilt. this prob started after. and if anyone wants to know, i didn't pay obrien the 40 bucks....told them that the diagnosis was wrong, and i wouldn't pay.



-BTW, that is my brother under my name now, I am not having multiple personality issues at this time lol--- Katie

So the creepy voices went away?

no, she's not having multiple personality disorders, but she can't spell her name right...lol

forgot i had my own user name and stuff...couldn't remember if i'd signed up before....now katie will be the only one using her name...unless i decide to use her name to start some sh*t. hehe

For now they did thank goodness but you know I heard going crazy is more common when you're pregnant

Anyhow, so what's the diagnosis on your turd of a car Kenny?

might have crankwalk, but not the cause of my current probs....didn't pay obrien one red cent...f*ckers!
