[s-cars] 5 Speed Wooooooooos

[Fred Munro]

Hi Mark;

Nope, as far as I can remember he just drove it and it fixed itself. He had
the linkage checked but noticed the tranny was shifting easier by then so he
just left it. Hope yours does the same!

That pretty much defined what happened.
It did if fact lock in gear 2nd to be specific.

Did Bob ever have the tranny dropped and opened ?
I hope there is an easy fix for this...
