Vehicle (manual transmission) stuck in first gear while entering cross street. Very dangerous situation. I managed to avoid an accident, but it was a close call. The 6 speed manual transmission is unable to shift out of first gear.

Transmission Stuck In Gear problem #2

Vehicle stuck in neutral after few seconds stop at stop sign in cross street. Was able to drive into hotel parking lot a few feet away and vehicle was towed home. Missed first repair appointment but rescheduled for 11/20/2014. 11/13/2014-vehicle now will not stay on when key is turned, will try a battery charge. Expecting to replace battery after diagnostic appointment. I don't drive it that often and have never missed a service appt.
