I had a similar situation a few years ago. Our club was on the way to the Peterson Museum for a tour of the vault. About a mile from the Museum on Wilshire Blvd (Los Angeles), I couldn't shift out of 2nd gear. I was able to drive to the Peterson in 2nd only and tour the vault. After the tour I had it towed home. I took of the shift tower and found nothing wrong - fairly new shift lever with the ball still nicely round, shift forks were fine, etc. I put it back together and have had no problems since (knock on wood
).
