Randy :
Haven't experienced it (don't even drive a TR6), but IMO if the shift lever
is getting 'stuck', at least part of the problem has to be in the top cover,
probably in the shift interlock. That's the two ball bearings and a round
pin inside the top housing, that ensure only one gear can be engaged at a
time.
In any case, you're going to have to take it off to inspect, and since the
top cover can come off without pulling the gearbox ...
