Question for ya all!
Every now and then, I cannot get trans into a gear without really forcing it. ( SM420 ) Happens very rarely but its usually when I'm at a light with cars behind, and leaves me struggling. She would be shifting perfectly fine, up and down. I can even float gears both ways, no grinding whatso ever! Then It happens, with no warning. Clutch is depressed, and I cant engage any gear. No grinding, nothing. I usually try all 4 forward and reverse. Sometimes it will slip in and others, well, I know it's not nice, But I force her, Into gear that is:) . Clutch is well adjusted and newer, sort of a loss here. Also will happen on a downshift. I did skim through 46 Sparkys post, his has a similar problem, but mine does operate normally 99.9% of the time.

I would appreciate any ideas on what is going on in there.
Thanks
Jim
