I have own the caliber since new and I was driving it for years and yesterday I went out to drive it and it is stuck in 2nd gear. I can go to neutral but that is it. I hopped in and drove it down the road but still, it will not go out of 2nd gear. It is a 5 speed manual transmission.
Any idea or advice?
Thanks,
Craig

I thought it only had one gear.

It is a 5 speed manual trans and from what I have ready it is a hard link to the trans. I have yet to dig into the motor itself I am afraid of what I might find. So does the shifter go into neutral but the trans is still in 2nd? Or do you actually get neutral when moving the shifter? Does the shifter just move between 2nd and neutral or will it go into any other gear with the engine off?

This is what I was getting at with the questions. Specific answers will get to the problem.

Well I am totally embarrassed I tore into the engine after you guys gave me full confidence that I could fix the issues and found out that that the only issue is a squirrel stuck a walnut between the bushing and the transmission. Any other gear they could not of perfectly landed that walnut!!!
Thanks again everyone for your help!
Craig OK, now that's funnier than shi+! Glad it was minor!

Why would you tear into the engine for a shifting problem?

Rodents cause HUGE problems. Most often they chew wires and some shops will charge you for them shooting the parts cannon at your vehicle all the while not finding the chewed up problem area. I get nervous seeing all the wildlife scurrying about my front and rear lawns.
Keep old mopars alive.
