what can happen if its worn and what happens if its stuck in two gears at once, meaning the transmission wont turn period.
Usually the gear shift lever will feel a little more wiggly.
what happens is the ball on the end of the shift lever can jump out of the rails... then what happens is when you try to shift a gear it will push one of the forks into a gear.... you keep moving the shifter around and try to take it out of gear and it can move a different rail into another gear, hence two gears at the same time meaning the transmission wont turn...ive seen it happen several times on one that the tower or rails or forks and shifter are worn pretty good. we used to build up the shifter by welding it..or brazing it would last awhile again....
