I am about 20 miles shy of 80k and am having an issue. Last weekend after a 1.5 hour drive I went to downshift from 6th and as soon as I touched the gear shift it slipped out of 6th like it was barely engaged, could feel a little grinding as it slipped out of 6th. Then couldn't get it Into any other gear but 6th. I pumped the clutch a couple times and was eventually able to jam it into first as I was at a stop at this point having coasted to a stop. I made it another 1/4 mile to my destination with difficult shifts each time then shut it down. I was out of car for 30 minutes, and then it operated normally for the next 15 minute drive. It did the same thing the next day after another 1.5 hour drive. Has been ok since on only 10 mile drives to work and back. No change in clutch pedal feel or engagement point. I'm turning it in as soon as the settlement is approved, so really don't want to spend the 800-1500 minimum I figure it will cost to diagnose and fix the issue. Not sure if it is clutch or transmission. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what might be going on? Has me baffled and nervous.
