2016 MT issue
Last year when a bunch of us drove to the British Motorcar show in PA, my manual transmission coupe went into reverse even though it was in first gear. Backup camera did not come on. It happened at least 4 shifts before it finally went forward.
Today I put it in reverse, backup camera came on and it went forward when I gave it gas. Happened at least 5 tries taking it out of gear and then back in before it finally reversed when I gunned engine. Drove a couple of hundred feet to a light. Put it in first and it went into reverse. Had to put in third and gunned engine and it finally went forward. I smelled burning clutch after that.
I've been driving a manual since 1974 and never went through a clutch. Put over 100k on them. I don't track. Help!! Anyone got any ideas? This is first Gen clutch. I made appointment with dealer. Unhinged??

The clutch won't account for the "wrong gear" situation. The shifter mechanism seems to be failing. If you still have a Gen. 1 clutch I expect it's only a matter of time before it fails, so make sure to note that with the dealer. There a bulletin on it, but I don't have the number handy.
