116 shift linkage problem

["Sedon, Doug (OD)" <sedond@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

paul, you said:
>Coming home from work last night I got off the freeway and when I pulled
>away from the light the car was in 3rd instead of 1st. So I put it in 1st
>but it was still in 3rd. The shifter flops freely from left to right weather
>it's in gear or not and I can only catch 3rd and 4th - didn't try 5th or
>reverse.
===================================
sounds like a broken clutch pivot fork, in the t/a...  :<(  i was a czechbook
mechanic when this happened to my werde, but i've read a few posts from some
diy'ers who've fixed this.

ciao for now,
