Its a 5 sp and it wont go into gear
Is it a Vitara or a Sidekick
Sidekick is USA /Canada, Vitara is rest of world name for same car. as is Geo Tracker.(usa/can)
5sp, just sold 3 like that....
my guess, is car will not crank and start in gear?
with clutch to the floor ,? and car ties to move, doing so?
that is the cable bad, a $25 part. and very comon failure.
or does wont go mean exactly that. the shifter gets netural
for all gears. that is bad shifter parts a $5 fix.
means car starts in gear, but will not move ever.
that means a false neutral, is selected.

link to , shifter, $5 plastic failure.
same page, top click part 27 bad.
only suzuki (defunct in USA) sells it.
let me elaborate:
"wont go in to gear." (all 6 gears?)
so if you key off
trying all gears. 1 by 1.
you
start in gear 1st
clutch to floor, tune key , it cranks &starts
release clutch, pedal and car fails to move.?
all brakes off sure.
try each gear, repeat.
if car will not move in all 6 gears (R is 6th)
then the cable is bad, easy fix.
if some gears work or others not
then part 27 is bad, in some cases
part 27 (cheap plastic) turns to dust
and seems missing, well it is.
in the worst cases 27 can stop all gears from working, but if you remove the shifter
in all cases, i can shift using a screw driver, there below 27 ID part.
that proves the part 27 is bad, for 100% sure.
you might not know what this means.
but vast others do, http://www.fixkick.com/tranny/rails.JPG
27 fails 99% time
rare, part 26 snaps. (extreme miles and rough driver)
