The problem was the (2)roller bearings for the 1st gear cluster were frozen in the input shaft, Removed gear, cleaned bearings and gear, problem solved.

If you can crank it it prob. is in 2 gears at once so be careful or it will shell the teeth off.

It sounds like you can crank the motor with the clutch in.

I would first doublecheck to make sure all the sliders are in the neutral position. With the cover off you should be able to rock the wheels back and forth and observe in the top to hopefully see something.

good luck and let up know
