Hi,

915, 81 sc, usa.

Last fall started having trouble putting shift lever into 4th while driving cold.
New fluid, no help. Issue would come and go.
Did the bushings, coupler, adjustment.
Last week took it out and drove well enough.

Yesterday, reverse out of the garage onto street... can't go into any gear, of course I won't ram it in, but basically locked out of all gears except reverse with grind (but can't remember how long I had the clutch down for before trying reverse), the last gear I was in. Clutch in, clutch out, no difference, still can't get it in. Turn the car off, all gears are back. Take it for a drive, everything normal, but 1/2 hour later can't go into 3,4,5 coast a bit then 5th comes back and everything shifts normally again.

Today. checked 1.0mm unchanged from last adjustment. Removed cable at transmission and used bungee cord to hold up clutch pedal. Checked 1.2mm gap measure as expected. I hooked up the cable again roughly and proceeded to remove the bungee cord holding the clutch pedal up, the pedal sank well below the brake pedal. That's unusual. Asked my helper to push the clutch pedal down so I could remove the clutch adjustment lever bolt as it was rounded slightly. The clutch never came back. There is no 1.0mm or 1.2 mm gap to be had and there is no hope for 25mm travel.

What's going on?

(two years ago with engine out I lubed the fork, so it's not binding, most likely,)
