[Mgs] B/GT gearbox mystery

[dave northrup]

Try adjusting the pushrods,  making them longer.  I know it sounds crazy,  but i had a similar problem and that fixed it.   People on this list even said don't do it,  but i did it anyway.   Now it works

Maybe a different approach:
Are the clutch hydraulics still in good order?
A clutch which does not operate well, does not “allow” the gearbox shift in good order.
Check the level and when good, check the movement of the slave cylinder when fully operating the clutch pedal.
Did you notice a change in the ease of operation of the clutch pedal?
If so, this indicates clutch hydraulics issues…

My ’71 B/GT has suddenly developed a gearbox problem—intermittently it will not go into any gear, whether the engine is running or not.  A few minutes later it will work normally, then later refuse to shift again.  Any idea where we should look for the cause?  We assume the side plate will have to come off.  We need to fix the problem, as I want to put the car up for sale before winter sets in----
