If this only happened once, Read "The problem WAS intermittent but
frustrating", more than likely the friction disk was stuck to the
flywheel. I've had this happen before.

The gears can't grind due to the fact that they are always meshed,
except for reverse. Reverse is simply a floating idler gear.
This is why it is possible to shift without the clutch!
The noise that is heard is the synchronizers "out of sync", not the
actual engagement of the gears.

Subject: Shifting
I took my six out for the first time from winter storage and noticed
that a
couple of times while starting from a stop the shifter would not move
out of
neutral at all. Couldn't go into first, second, or any gear. If I
pumped
the clutch a couple of times it would suddenly work again. The problem
was
intermittent but frustrating. Anyone have a suggestion on what is going
on?
