6th gear not engaging ??? My 6th gear will not engage and I am wondering if it sounds like it might an easy repair that I can do myself or is it pretty complicated. I'm very mechanical, but never really messed with transmission internals. Every other gear is fine but 6th gear will not engage. I can pull the shifter into where it is supposed to be but all I can feel is like teeth ratcheting trying to engage. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

I had the exact problem in 5th and 6th. Amber @ sixspeedsinc.com says I have a "bent 5-6 shift rail" that caused it.
Don't know if that would be the same thing, but it is likely.
I STRONGLY recommend six speeds inc for your rebuild.
(Amber, if you read this... feel free to correct me if I mis-quoted you)
