Hard 6th gear engagement....HELP!! I've been having problems getting my tranny to engage into 6th. I will pull the shifter down towards 6th and it will go passed the gate. However, when I let off the clutch, the shifter will vibrate like crazy and gets pushed back up towards 5th. Sometimes it will.....I wouldn't say grind....but grumble. If I yank it down pretty hard, it will usually engage.
Did I mess up a synchro or bend a shift fork? I don't understand why 6th gear of all gears.

Well on the bright side 6th gear is easy to get at and inspect, just have to take the tailhousing off. If you can remove and install the trans yourself (Not that bad of a job) you could probably get away having someone do the internals for less than $200 parts and labor.
