Did you release the Ebrake? I have to do that now and then on my
Peugeot BA 10/5 to get out of gear. Could you be out of fluid in the
clutch master cyl?

1989 258 cui 5 speed.
The clutch works great, I tried putting the transfer case in netural. It
feels more stuck than disconected.
It looks like a drag to get to the trans. But I run a machine shop and it is
at work, so I have that going for me at least.
Any one near Norfolk Va want to buy the beast? :)
I will report todays outcome.
Thanks for the help so far.

I had a similar problem with my 87 (also 258, 5speed). It turns out the
shifter had 'slipped'. I removed the shifter, and my mechanic was able to
line the transmission up with a big screwdriver.

I think the shifter has 2 fork tongs that go into the tranny. One had
slipped out of position.

Maybe Bill can post a link that explains it better.

Come at it from the inside, top down. I think the gear shifter is just
loose at the top cover.
