Subject: Manual trans. shifting problem


My local mechanic(s) advised me that the problem I have getting into 5th gear on my `85 900 is due to some sort of sleeve in the transmission that is "galling" making it very hard to move. After some adjustment, it is now possible to get it into 5th gear which wasn't possible before, but it does take some effort/force. Is this a known problem? 5th gear has never been used much on this vehicle. Is it possible that crud has built up in the mechanism? My mechanic(s) also said it's next to impossible to get repair parts for the transmission. Are there known sources other than wrecking yards?
