Won't go into 6th gear
Hi guy I have a question if anybody can help me out. I have a 03 ap1 with 40k miles and it does not want to go into 6th gear all the other gears are like butter but 6th gear is a no go in, could it be that one of the forks are bent or is there a issue that I don't know about oh and yeah I did do a search.

my vote is that the 6th gear synchro is shot

Let me guess you were running an HPDE and using gears 1-4 for a while and then on the way home suddenly 6th wouldn't work? Now it feels as if there's a bar blocking off 6th gear.
Once upon a time a long time ago there was a bulletin on that which has since disappeared. Something about needing to shift up to 5th or 6th on cool down laps.
It has happened to me and a several of my buddies. Drive it normally for a while and 6th will come back. On mine it would pop out of 6th like a bad synchro for a while so I had to drive with my hand on the lever. Soon it would stay in 6th. I haven't had that problem in quite a while and there has been no apparent long term damage to my car. The last time it showed up was at about 20k and now I'm over 60k miles.
