<<Patrick said: more and more lately is that the gears lock up. Sometimes it
will go into third, and third only. Usually what I do is turn the car off,
just push it through the gears (1-4) then turn it on again and I'm all set.
My Classic did a similar thing. My car wouldn't go into gear every so
often. I got pretty worried about the syncros and other items; but it
turned out that one of the rivets that holds the "tension wire" for the
pressure plate fingers sheared off, and was floating around in the housing.
Apparently, I was not the first person for this to happen too b/c Bill the
Arcstarter's web-page documents a similar item. His page:
