Sm465 shifter problem nightmare!

[Mickb126]

Took the tranny out to replace the clutch. Took the shifter housing off to replace the gasket and make sure everything in the tranny was ok. The shifter worked fine before. But I noticed before I put the shifter housing back on it was stuck and wouldn't shift to any gears. Played with it for hours and it started moving then jammed again and the shifter will not move into any gears. What could be causing this I've messed with this thing all day.

Take the shifter out and look down into the trans..see if the trans is in neutral..there are notches for the shifter in the top of the shifter forks.all 3 should be centered and inline.if not take a large screwdriver and stick it in there and manually move all the forks to neutral(center). Then reinstall shifter being careful not to knock it back in gear..see if that works.

Here's a sideways pic of one in 1st gear (I think) notice how the upper two notches are lined up and the bottom is off to the right.the bottom one needs to be inline with the top two..yours may be in gear and your shifter is hitting a different fork..
