tonight i decided to go to the local racing spot. I got a race and it started fine but when i shifted from second to third, it wouldnt let me into 3rd. I pull over and push the clutch petal in and it is shaking or like vibrating. The car would not go into gear with the clutch held down, however,when i forced it into gear, it went and the car drove fine except for the fact that i had to force it onto every gear. Please help asap if you think you know what this is

yeah it happens in every gear. Is it safe to drive to like a repair shop in this condition. I feels really bad having to force the car into gear. I need to know if i have to have it towed or not. Also i know how much the forks are but how much does it cost to put one in.

There is a way to shift without the use of the clutch. Once the engine rpms reach a certin window in each gear, the gears will mesh. It takes considerable practice and in reality, in this instance I wouldn't mess with it. I would have it towed....... too much grinding and the sycros are going to go away if they haven't already.

guess it wasnt a clutch fork. Took off the tranny today and the clutch and it was a suprising sight. The clutch surface was broken off 3/4 of the way around the disk. Upon further inspection, i found that the pilot bearings shot out onto the clutch face and grenaded the surface. The pressure plate and the flywheel have pretty good scorch marks on them too i will put pics up later on. It was pretty depressing. But at least now i know whats wrong with the car. I guess now i have to sell the steel clutch fork.
