[Spridgets] MG Midget Transmission?? Problem

[Larry Macy]

Sounds like what happened to me when my pumpkin died. Everything OK until you let out the clutch. The pumpkin was locked up and stopped the drive shaft, but it still rolled of pushed.

Pull the drain and see what comes out. Much easier than pulling the tranny first.

It is shifted to what we think is neutral, but if you let out the clutch, it dies.  It can be pushed forward or backward easily like it is in neutral, but when you start the engine and let out the clutch it dies.  It appears to shift into other gears, but will not move.  Anyone have any ideas what is wrong?  We are thinking the tranny is broke, but it seems very weird symptoms.  It is the datsun b210 5 speed.  It has less than 500 miles on the rebuild.  Any thoughts, besides we are screwed.  :-)
