A little edgy, every guy wants one,
some guys can't handle them,
and if you throw a little alcohol in them they'll rock your world.

GSA's normally go bad at the clutch line seal. They are a non-servicable part (although I have had a few seals made up, just to mess around with) and the unit needs to be replaced as a whole.
I only have 5 spares, if you still needed one LOL

Maybie it's time to do a manual conversion? The gearboxes are the same between manual and SMT, it's just all the other stuff that needs swapping over.
Oi dirty aussie smelly Graeme, how much does a manual conversion for a ZZW go for in your hellhole of a country?

Jeez dun h8, m8 haha
We do em for 3k here...
If your car is stuck in gear, its likely that one of the shift solenoids are jammed up. This can be tested by connecting a 5V power and earth to each solenoid circuit to check their operation.
Do you have access to an OBD CAN Reader? If so, pull the codes from it and let me know what they are.
