Stick shift fails to lock in place after shifting. If it's bumped, would shift into neutral. Can shift from one gear to another when barely touching it or brushing against it.

  • Manual transmission

This is my son's car. He had been stopped at a stop light and was proceeding to shift from 2nd to 3rd, he heard a grinding noise and the car felt like it had a flat tire. He put in the clutch and coasted to the nearby gas station. Smoke was coming out from underneath his car. When he looked, there was a trail of fluid and a puddle under his car. Car had to be towed -- needs whole new transmission (and vehicle has only 8,500 miles on it).
