!986 911 shift problem
 

Yesterday I was driving my 911 1986 when I was coming to a corner shifted into second and there I was tranny stuck in second clutch works but stuck any guesses? Car ran fine put almost 100 miles on it the same day. Never had any problem shifting up or down prior. Help Please!!! Thanks Bob

Is the shift lever stuck, 'springy' or loose?

If the shift linkage came loose; somewhere, it may be as far back as inside the gearbox.(there is a fulcrum point mounted to an access-plate "shift cover" which I've seen come loose --the fulcrum fork loosens from the cover on one corner. ..and can give springy feel as it flexes => not wanting to move into/out of a gear)

#6 is the fulcrum point (fork) and #5 the cover.

It just feels stuck. I did push on it very hard but it seems to be pretty tight. Thanks
