Looks like I boned something pretty bad. I was torquing down my crankshaft pulley bolt and had the car in 5th gear with the ebrake up. After I was done, I pulled the shifter back to neutral (without pressing the clutch... it was late and I was lazy and stupid). I wanted to turn the crank over with a wrench by hand to make sure it was rotating well and found that it was behaving like it was still stuck in gear....
Now the shifter is in neutral position but it feels like it's in 5th gear. If I lift the rear wheels off the ground and try to spin them (with ebrake off) they don't spin freely. If I press in on the clutch and spin the rear wheels they turn freely. The shifter will go into gears 1-4, but it doesn't slide over to the right for 5th/Reverse.
Any ideas on what happened or where to go from here? I'd like to not drop the trans if I can help it.... need to pull the shifter out and open up the control box and see what it's like in there. It is the 71C trans as well.
