               I believe I=E2=80=99ve been there and sometimes still =
happens.

The linkage is stuck in reverse gear position.   If you put it back into =
reverse and carefully pull it out of reverse it should be OK.   I found =
that worked after getting under the Tiger a couple times to get it in a =
forward gear which is no fun at all.

=20

I believe this problem is all in the shifter mechanism.

=20

I=E2=80=99m not exactly sure how I reduced this occurrence, it was 20 =
years ago, but here is a go at it.

I believe I took the shifter mechanism out =E2=80=93 cleaned it =
=E2=80=93 inspected it - lubed it and I stretched the spring a little.

I also replaced the trunnion on the shifter.

Assemble the shifter =E2=80=93 check and adjust the shifter linkage as =
required.

=20

That worked for me =E2=80=93 only once in a great while does the shifter =
hang up now.

=20

Hope this helps with your problem

After  my recent engine rebuild  I am having trouble with the tranny =
getting stuck in two gears.  Not good.  It occurs when trying to go =
forward after putting it in reverse It won't go into any forward gear. =
Did I perhaps bend something getting it back into the tunnel on =
replacing the motor?  I didn't do anything to the tranny  when out of =
the car.  I did clean it up and repaint before re-entry.  It was =
suggested that  I cleaned it too good and it needed to be relubed on the =
rods and levers.  That did seem to help but it still gets stuck on =
occasion and I can release it by putting it back into reverse.  That is =
the good news. I had to get under the car and hit the lever before to =
pop it out of gear.    The levers all line up where they should be under =
the shifter.  Fluid level is good.  Is the fluid correct( valvoline gear =
oil--high performance 80-90w )?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  =
