Re: Manual shifter binding when moving into neutral

After beating, cleaning, fine-sanding and re-lubing every contact point I could find, I decided it was just time to buy a replacement. Just when I was about to put it down, I hard tapped the lateral shift lever, 3 times with a hammer, where it enters the top of the gear select module. That did the t...

Re: Manual shifter binding when moving into neutral

I've confirmed that the problem is in the Gear Selector module. I don't know what is causing the problem yet. The pin in the shift gate still won't move back to the neutral position unless it's bumped or hit. In the picture below, the pin is sitting on the side (bottom) of the shift gate when my han...

Re: Manual shifter binding when moving into neutral

Turns out the cover plate is an actually a module that slides out. I'm working on getting to it now. Has anyone ever removed one? Does it slide up and out?

Re: Manual shifter binding when moving into neutral

I disconnected the (left to right) shifter cable from the transmission and movd the selector lever on the transmission manually. The problem still happens (no shifter attached).

Manual shifter binding when moving into neutral

I have an issue with my manual shifter on my 2006 S40 T5. When I move the shifter backwards from 1st gear, the shifter binds and requires some force to move it to the right, into neutral. Then is clunks into place. When I move the shifter forwards from 2nd gear, the shifter binds and requires some f...

2006 Volvo S40 T5: What is this Mystery part?

I found this rubber block hanging off the edge of the inner lip of my sunroof right after I opened it. Can anyone identify it. It's a single piece rubber block with an antenna like appendage.
