Diagnostic Aids
If the transmission is locked, engaging the clutch will kill the engine. If the shift control components and the clutch system operations are working properly, the problem is caused by internal damage, such as a dented or damaged shift fork, and the transmission must be removed from the vehicle for repairs. You should also perform a static shift and a dynamic shift test.
