You need to make sure is getting the box into some gear. Since it suddenly
stopped with shifting/clutch actuation I would suspect the input shaft may
have separated from the main shaft, especially if the engine was recently
out. There is a coupling-screw-snap ring set up that holds the two shaft
pieces together. Tranny is coming out.

Subject: transmiision problem

Returning from a quick trip to the wilds of the north Maine woods I Wu-Wei
developed a sudden problem. after a stop I shifted into 1st gear and nothing
happened . Clutch seems to have proper resistance but no transmission
engagement. Does anybody have any ideas of what the problem might be and,
more important, what the fix might be.
Thanks - Dake
