               I believe I=E2=80=99ve been there and sometimes still =
happens.

The linkage is stuck in reverse gear position.   If you put it back into =
reverse and carefully pull it out of reverse it should be OK.   I found =
that worked after getting under the Tiger a couple times to get it in a =
forward gear which is no fun at all.

=20

I believe this problem is all in the shifter mechanism.

=20

I=E2=80=99m not exactly sure how I reduced this occurrence, it was 20 =
years ago, but here is a go at it.

I believe I took the shifter mechanism out =E2=80=93 cleaned it =
=E2=80=93 inspected it - lubed it and I stretched the spring a little.

I also replaced the trunnion on the shifter.

Assemble the shifter =E2=80=93 check and adjust the shifter linkage as =
required.

=20

That worked for me =E2=80=93 only once in a great while does the shifter =
hang up now.

=20

Hope this helps with your problem

After  my recent engine rebuild  I am having trouble with the tranny =
getting stuck in two gears.  Not good.  It occurs when trying to go =
forward after putting it in reverse It won't go into any forward gear. =
Did I perhaps bend something getting it back into the tunnel on =

rods and levers.  That did seem to help but it still gets stuck on =
occasion and I can release it by putting it back into reverse.  That is =

pop it out of gear.    The levers all line up where they should be under =
the shifter.  Fluid level is good.  Is the fluid correct( valvoline gear =
oil--high performance 80-90w )?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  =

Russ, Check the shifter linkage. With the car in neutral  there's an
alignment hole below the pivot. All the levers MUST align, the tighter the
alignment "pin" (you supply that!) the better. Then connect the shifter
rods to the shifter making sure the transmission shifter levers are in
neutral. That you can be in two gears at once implies the alignemt is way
out.

Russ,

Ron is right.  I had the same problem when my Tiger was factory new.  I
remember sitting at an intersection and trying to get into 1st gear.
Finally put it back into reverse and then back out and all was well.
Follow everybody's advice about linkage alignment, but I think that the
problem will never completely go away - it's the nature of the beast.
