Tranny Question......

[trnsfrma@ix.netcom.com (Shawn C. Meze)]

Ok, its my turn to post a question to the group. Heres my scenerio:

I Bought a soposedly rebuilt tranny that was used in an ITB Rabbit and 
raced for one year. It was soposed to have a close ratio box with the 
stock mini slip. 
What I got was a wide ratio box with the mini slip, then I put in the 
80% diff kit ect... 

A month after I put in the tranny, I had a major tranny fluid leak that 
effectively ruined my clutch disk. I recently replaced the clutch with 
another SACHS 2.0L clutch and put in the new seals in the tranny to 
avoid any further problems with leakage. 
Thats the history of this tranny so far.

A couple times I have experienced it sticking in 3rd, but it would 
unstick after a couple tuggs on the shifter. Last night, after a few 
0-60 runs I turned onto my street and it stuck into 3rd, but this time, 
its stuck there good. I cant get it out of third. I disconnected the 
shift linkage and have even used a prybar to try and pop it out of 
third. It wont go. Its definately an internal problem.  
Any ideas? as to why its stuck, other than a bent shift fork? Im not at 
all experienced in the internal workings of trannys, other than 
clutches and Diff kits, ect. I dont want to tear this one down, if I 
dont have to. Im kind of sick of dropping the thing. (this will be the 
3rd time in 3 months.) 
Oh Mark, -do you got any 4K trannies laying around? (Ah Crud)
