Steve...Most likely the 3/4 slider is history.  I have seen a few late
model factory sliders break and that is why I use a custom built one made
out of tougher stuff..
 It also could be the shift fork, but that is rarer than a slider
problem. Call if you have any questions.

Subject: Stuck in 4th gear !

My '91 Carat let me down this morning.  All was fine till I went to exit
the Interstate and the van would not come out of 4 th gear.   The
gearlever just wont budge.   It has not shown any signs of problems
before.  Clutch works fine.  Same problem with or without engine running.
Could this be the infamous 3-4 slider problem ?
I thought this was cleared up by '91 model ?

The van is presently parked close to the intersection till after
work....bummer.

Thanks,  Steve Cotsford
