My 1995 LT 1 Corvette gears won't shift - 1998 Chevrolet Corvette

No adjustments. check fluid, replace the master and slave cylinders. Could be the clutch also. Depends on driving habits.

Transmissions have "synchros" that adjust the speed when shifting from one gear to the next, because the engine's RPMs, while correct for, say, 1st gear, are too high to shift to 2nd gear.

If you're really careful, and an expert driver, you can shift a manual transmission from one gear to the next without using the clutch at all.


However, you seem to have a transmission problem with the 1-2 synchros.

Probably the speed sensor on the transmission. It would cause both problems. You should also have a check engine light with a trouble code for the sensor.

Put lucas 1 or 2 botle.,remove extra.

Maybe your shifter is loose at the tranmission or a stick could have got stuck up under the vehicle in this area. Many people drive over such items thinking no problem, sometime there is with a low riding car. Also look under hood for the connection to your thottle body to see if something has happened there...good luck...

Maybe pressure regulator

Sorry to say your vehicle does not use a vac modulator.

Does it stay in second or does it make the shift and go to neutral or first?

It might. If not, adjust the fork.
