250cc ssr " kinroad, roketa, kandi" buggy , stuck in neutral

[mrpostman831]

Ok went to a river, had a great time,* but when I was loading my buggy onto trailer, noticed it was hard to go into reverse, then when I got home, buggy was stuck in neutral .* Gear selector level on reverse gear box was moving but wasnt getting anywhere, then notice the shaft had on the lever was sticking out by 2inchs. So i jacked up the rear of the buggy, then I slide shaft back in and it would just get stuck in reverse or foward with that I knew and hoped it was only the shift fork.
So I decided to pull it off and investigate.* I was right and lucky my gears werent sheared and were all good. I also locktited the bolt on inside of the shift fork. So I couldnt wait for gasket to come. I got some red rtv and sealed it. Works better than when I got it lol

It was a whole lot easier finding the groove on the selector shaft with the gear box on the table then I. The buggy.
