3rd and 4th gear wont engage at all.


Today I was heading out to my buddies house and my 3rd and 4th gear just decided to not work anymore. My 3rd gear use to grind once in a wile but would stop after like 3 mins of driving. Today out of no where my 3rd and 4th when out. It doesn't even grind when i put it in 3rd and 4th nor does it engage? What the hell?! When i drive i have to go from 2nd gear straight to 5th. Syncros maybe? The clutch is maybe 3 months old.

the only thing that links 3rd and 4th is the fork and hub. my guess is you sheered the teeth off the fork. your luckey it didnt stick in 3rd or 4th cause then you would have more problems..
