Well, had to have my baby towed this morning. I left a stop light in 1st gear, went to shift into 2nd gear (manual tranny) at about 20 mph and I heard a resounding "SNAP" and the shift lever went "completely limp". The car was locked into 1st gear. My guess is the shift linkage (cable) snapped loose somehow.

This is my 3rd warranty claim at 14,300 miles and 18 months of ownership.
