G50 update or just worn shifter bushings?

Do you think this could be my car's problem?

"I have an '87 G50. Right now, I cannot shift it into any gear, but 3rd. This is with the car off and when it is turned on. I press in the clutch, then try to put it into reverse. It won't go, but with the clutch fully depressed and with me applying pressure towards putting it into reverse, it will not go, but the car moves ever so slightly to the rear. I try to press it into 1st and cannot, but when I hold in the clutch, and press the shift lever towards 1st, I see the car start to creep forward. It worked great the whole previous week.

This happened once before and after sitting for a week, I went out to try and get it to the shop and it worked perfectly. Mechanic kept it for 2 weeks just looking at it messing with it and trying it everyday, but it never messed up again until now.

No leaks from slave or master cylinders.

Any ideas?"

Oh, the symptoms are a stiff clutch pedal and the resulting gear crunching or difficulty engaging gears. Don't ignore it. Wrecking G50 synchros means entire gear replacement (advantage: 915) and that equals BIG $$$$.

The Weltmeister kit is not break the bank expensive. $161 for the shaft setup and another $111 for the new release fork.

A little searching in the Pelican parts catalog will get you what you need..................
