So I went through a massive puddle the other day I'm not sure if it was just a coincidence, but now my car doesn't want to go into 2nd 3rd or 4th gear half the time and then sometimes it goes into gear no problem. I'm wondering if maybe my clutch cable is streched? my clutch is only a few years. I sitll have the stock t-5 with 200,000 km but I havent been powershifting or anything like that. I think its getting worse to.

if it shifts ok with the engine off, it's likely a misadjusted or stretched clutch cable. try tightening the clutch cable.
