My 1999 Mustang 5 speed 3.8 is stuck in gear and the rear end is locked up until you jack it up off the tires. Then the back wheels will spin and if you put it back on the ground they lock up again. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
When the car had under 3000 miles the shifter got stuck in reverse. It was under warranty and they replaced the transmission. They said there was a known problem with the manual 5 speed transmission. I have had no problems with the trans for the last 100,000 miles. I recently had the clutch replaced and the trans has locked up twice in the last two weeks. The last time I was able to get it out of reverse after several trys. This time I am having it towed to the Ford dealer that replaced the clutch. I will let you know what they tell me.
