I have a bunch of lights on the dash and my battery is dead. I lost power steering and then needed to get jumped at a gas station.

I think the car needs a new ECM

I probably should have just wrote those all down and pasted them but you get my drift.

Well, if you have the Maxx Ever Start battery from Walmart, it was rated one of the best just a few years ago.

Could be any number of things without actually knowing what's going on.
Battery, alternator, seized engine, etc.

2004 Pontiac vibe GT 6-speed manual transmission. I just bought this car. It's on jack stands front tires are up, front wheel drive. Scenario: without touching the clutch pedal I can go from reverse to first through 4th. In any of those gears I can get the RPMs up to 7,000 rpm then I have to engage the clutch to get into 5th and 6th gear. TIA for any information.
UPDATE: While it's running I can shift in any gear but 5th and 6th without the clutch depressed inside however underneath I can shift into gear only if the shifter is in neutral inside. Any advice is welcome
