As I'm pulling away from a stop sign, I go to shift into 2nd gear & it's as if my manual gear shifter is not attached to anything. I am now not in any gear , unable to shift into gear, & left coasting across a 4 lane, 2 way street. Also, both front seat seatbelts only retract about half way, and it has been that way from at least 17000 miles.
Manuel shift handle disengaged from transmission cable on floor when shifting. Car was unable to be shifted to lower gear to cross highway safely .
Transmission failure resulted in leakage.
