=>Car in question Jeff Smith's black '80 S with a JH and 2H or 4K
=>transaxle...
=>
=>It shifted fine, no grinding or anything abnormal... I downshifted to
=>3rd, and then it wouldn't come back out. I tried to manually shift it on
=>the tranny, but I couldn't get it out of third. 
=>
=>I drove it back in third, and today I put a large prybar on the input
=>selector shaft lever, and it will not disengage.
=>
=>Any ideas or suggestions (before I pull the trans out) will be
=>appreciated!
=>
=>I'm thinking a broken synchro, or something internal...
=>
=>Thanks!
=>
=>Peter
