Thanks John,

Checked the guide fork at bottom of trans late last year. Fork was on good. Presently it goes in all gears nicely but still can't get clutch to come back out.
I'm pretty sure the clutch was replaced at some point, when I viewed it from the side two years ago it was the type with the slots in the friction material. Does this more modern type still use rubber?

How about the release fork? Could that be another reason 25mm travel would be impossible at this point?

Thanks,
Phil

John I edited some info that was misleading, 1/2 hour into the drive I lost not only 5th, but 3,4,5. Coasted then 5th went into gear and all gears shifted normally till arrival at home.
