Reverse? Does it feel like it is going into gear or just lime the shifter is moving freely? Early boxes had brass shift corks which are known to shear...... but I doubt both forks are broke, and even if they were reverse would work.
Have you pulled the lower clutch cover and had a look inside?
yes it feels like its going into gear when its running but i dont use the clutch to put it in at all. im going to pull the clutch cover tomo see whats going on in there
