Bent fork. Where are you located? Along with us there are several shops that can fix this for you without it costing a fortune.

My last and final issue with my '99 MM6 tranny was it was jumping out of reverse. Turned out to be a burned bushing inside which in turn ruined a bunch of other items. This was the 3rd major issue therefore I gave up and bought a new trans for it. No problem since. First issue was bad synchros and a gear, 2nd issue was the mainshaft is association with 5th and 6th gear and the splines on the main shaft.

Yes the tranny will need to be removed & it is a good idea to replace the clutch while everything is apart. Carolina Auto Masters is in NC, they are capable of the job....someone else chime in if there is a closer shop they know off. Good Luck!
