[DML] Re: Transmission Quetion

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Probably the infamous broken roll pin.  

There really isn't an adjustment that will compansate for this, there 
is a roll pin on one of the shifter shafts that pushes the fork that 
pushes the gear. Sometimes (usually due to the original poor clutch 
hydraulic line) it get sheared off from trying to get the trans in 
gear without the clutch fully dis-engaged. 

It costs all of about 35 cents but is located deep inside the 
transmission. A good thing to fix when you get around to replacing 
the clutch.
