Driving car to the mechs for a carby overhaul and tune. And on the way, my tranny decides to lock up.
I can only put the stick into 5th and reverse. 1 through 4 dont even budge or engage. Any1 heard of this SHIT!!
I am very pissed with my gemini. 2 towings in 3 days, thats quite shit!!! Im glad im an NRMA member. They must hate us gemini guys.

Its a rodeo 5 speed. Any ideas on what it is?

Its at the mechs now. Ive got my fingers crossed for a smaller than expected bill!! I doubt it.

Im thinkin of getting out of the game. buying a bike

how was your clutch could be that or you might have broken something in the box

nah, it aint the clutch cause i can run both 5th and reverse fine, well, reverse anyway.
im thinking its the gear engagement lines. Just dont know how it could be fixed.

yeah i've had the same problem twice in the time i've had my gem, the synchro on 5th gear jumped the spline, and locked everything up. i couldn't get into any gear at all - just neutral, which was in fact 5th gear!!! bizarre, i let the clutch out with some revs, and took off home, with the wonderful smell of clutch following me all the way home. i ran as many red lights as i could safely, and to make things worse, i had a trailer on the back with my dirt bike, that had also just cracked a shit... wasn't happy jan.
getting another box is easiest, but watch out for what u get, cos at the moment i've got a noisy one purchased from the wreckers, for $150. noisiness not covered in the 3 month warranty. all the best.
