[TR] Stag Stuck in Gear!

[Kinderlehrer]

I am not familiar with Stags. But, assuming it’s a manual transmission whenever I’ve had similar problems, it was linkage jamming. I would get underneath and move the levers around ‘till it was in neutral and then it was good to go.

The Stag is in the paint shop for the finishing touches, and while moving the car about the shifter jammed up somewhere between reverse and neutral. The clutch seems operative because when depressed the car will roll. Any ideas as to how to pop the tranny into neutral? The old-timee shop owner suggests starting the car then pushing it hard and releasing the clutch. Or, perhaps the clutch needs just a little more throw, with adjustment at the lever?

This is particularly frustrating and surprising because the transmission was lovely and smooth - better than any TR i've ever owned.
Thanks for your help
