Hello,

shift fork – that is what i've meant with "claw".

Number 7 on your picture is the shift fork 1st/2nd gear.

---

Number 32 is the shift fork for 5/6th gear. As you can see it is fixed with a hexagon bolt (13). Maybe this came loose. This would explain why you could push in 6th gear one time.

Number 6 on the photo is the push rod for 5/6th gear. It has some locking elements (7/8) in it. If they get loose i think you won't be able to shift these gears anymore.

Hope this is helpful.

Regards, Markus
