Angry Out of all the gears...

My 6th gear is out! Everyone I've told so far is pretty stumped. 1-5th still rip great. I have a tick master and the fluid looks fine, haven't noticed a leak. Doesn't grind, just doesn't engage, goes in the 6th gear spot when I'm heading on the freeway and just revs. If it were the synchros i'm sure it would grind a little at any kind of rpm, any ideas?? Also clutch is good doesn't slip. Thanks!

Not common, but you could have torn the engagement teeth off of the 6 gear. The more common 5/6 cluster failure would have 5th out also, but that doesn't sound like your situation.

Regardless... You're in for a teardown and rebuild.

Your 5/6 fork could also be bent or just simply worn out. The fork pads might have cracked and fallen off. But like Mike said, it will definitely need to come apart.
