91 Ply Laser RS. While driving, can't shift gears. Shifter locks badly. After coasting to the side of the road and turning the engine off, and jiggling the stick, it seems to break free. With the engine off we can shift through all the gears. With the engine running (usually while the car is in motion) the shifter locks up again.
The engine has shuttered on ocasion, almost like the clutch doesn't disengage. We have lots of fluid in the hydrolic clutch system, and the slave cylinder does move when the pedal is depressed. Under the hood, I can jiggle the shift lever and the selector lever and again it breaks free. Feels fine when I move these levers under the hood (clutch depressed). It's not consistent, we have driven the car over 30 Km and all seemed OK, then it happened again. When it works, the gears feel normal and the shift is almost the same, maybe a little stiffer, but generally OK. The Tranie may have be low on oil, I added over 2 liters (I know the manual sys 1.8 Liters). So, do I need a new tranie.
I read Alex Nazars post, it's similar but different.
