Over the weekend, after a bit of normal on-road driving my friend's 1975 lightweight refused to shift out of first gear.
The clutch engaged and disengaged normally to start moving and stop but the vehicle would not shift from first gear when the clutch was depressed.
Then, after doing some light tugging on the gearshift, we were able to pop it into neutral but now it is completely stuck in neutral. You can hear a change in the sound of the transmission when the clutch is pressed but it doesn't allow the gear to be engaged.
I bled the clutch at the slave cylinder just to be sure there wasn't air in the system but that did not help. Any ideas on what this could be?
