So today when I was going to leave work, I went to go put my car into reverse but it wouldn't go in. Huh. Tried all the gears and nothing, then I tried forcing it into first and it made a crazy loud grinding sound that my coworker could hear from his car with the windows up. Still didn't go in. Tried reverse again, and it would go in with some force but it grinded like crazy. I finally decided to just leave the car at work for the weekend and grab one of the work cars. Pushed my car into the compound, tried putting it into gear again and it finally went into reverse and everything just seemed to "pop" back into place, and suddenly everything was fine. I left it there and took the work car anyways just to be safe. Anybody have any clue what could be going on?

I have a friend that had something similar. He also had what sounded like a broken axle turn out he shattered 3 syncros. And in the combined30 ish miles he drove it limping it home he had done so much damage to the casing it couldn't be fixed.
May not be the same thing. But I would be very careful with it until you can get it checked out -------------------- 97 Celica GT liftback DD/ project
