My '74 bug initially wouldn't change down into 2nd without doing a double de-clutch. Now it is flatly refusing to go up into 2nd or down into 2nd....ie. I have no operable 2nd gear! What do I need to do? is it a garage and engine out job? Help!

Can you get 2nd gear when the car is sitting still?

Did you try the sifter plate.. my trannys Sync got stuck in 2nd gear because the shifter plate was off.. and i did have to pull both the Tranny and Motor

I can get 2nd when I'm stopped and engine off but not with the engine running. Haven't tried the shifter plate, thanks for the tip!
