Does anyone know why a 3-speed manual 3-on-the-tree transmission would suddenly not engage into gear after three years of trouble free almost daily driving (about three days a week)? Here's what I have. Foot is off the clutch. Car's in Neutral and the engine is idling. Push in the clutch. Slowly move the gear lever either down to first or up to reverse and there it is - the zzzzzzzzz-ing sound of spinning gears just kissing each other. Try to force it and the grinding gets downright ugly.
Sound familiar to anyone?
