First thing to check is the Transmission Fluid level.The 928 is very sensitive to tranny fluid levels.You will need to take it to a shop and get it up in the air as the level is checked through a site glass on the transmission.After that it could get expensive.If a transmission service has not been done for a while would be a good time to get one done.
No, you push the clutch all the way in to disengage the gear you are using from the drive train, and then you engage the next gear you want to use and re-engage that gear to the drive train.
BAD CLUTCH
Release the throttle and engage the foot shift to engage the clutch. next grab the shifter and slowly push the gear forward into first. The next 3 gears and straight back on the shifter. The 1939 Indian Scout has a 3 speed transmission. When shifting from 1st to 2nd please do the same as shifting into first gear. That's it. The slower the rpms on the motor the easier it will go into gear.
The first cause of the jump out from one to other gear is the loose shifter fork, which connects the shifting linkage and gears of the transmission. The second cause is loose shifting linkage itself, which connects the gear shifting knob and shifting fork. The shifting linkage and shifting fork become loose due to the rapid changing of gears from one gear to other at high speed of vehicle. The third cause is the misalignment of shifting linkage to the shifting fork.
Your sun shell is broke
The car isn't necessarily shifting into neutral its just staying in a lower gear and not shifting to the next gear, check your transmission fluid.
If your transmission is not shifting into third gear and overdrive it could be a parking pawl. This prevents the transmission from rotating.
When shifting a manual (or standard) transmission on a vehicle, if you hear excessive knocking noises immediately after shifting, you are probably:1) Shifting into the next highest gear too soon, or2) Shifting into the wrong gear - for example, going from 2nd to 4th gear, or3) Not running the engine fast enough after shifting to the next highest gear, or4) Your engine is out of tune if you know you're doing steps 1,2 and 3 correctly
You need to lift the collar on the gear stick to engage reverse gear
shifting rod
No.
Take it to get the gearbox replaced.
