Subject:      84 GL 4 speed transmission
Content-Type: text/plain

My 84 GL (100K miles) 4 speed transmission appears to have "dropped a
fork".  1st and 2nd feel fine but the tranny stays in neutral.  The
linkage looks fine, and I can't get it in gear by moving the lever off
the side of the tranny with the linkage disconnected.  Reverse, 3rd, &
4th are fine.  Interesting enough I have just replaced my leaking clutch
slave cylinder which was causing some intense neutral to first shift
action at the stop lights.


I am seriously considering breaking it open to replace the fork myself.
What do you think are my chances of success?  I would appreciate any
recommendations.  I have the Bently book.  Thanks.
