[john walker's workshop]

quite often, the teeth on the 1st or 2nd syncro hub all break off, which allows the syncro ring to expand and block the shift sleeve from moving into it's normal position. if you can't get past the neutral position, that's probably what happened. if you pull the drainplug and there's a few tiny teeth in the magnet, you're in for a teardown. if you keep driving it in this condition, the brake bands, syncro and stop dogs can go thru other gear teeth and break them too. i'm in seattle by the way.
