    case 580 b ck shifter (no 1st or 2nd gears)

    update: i visually checked through shifter hole and made sure forks were seated on the collars. everything looked great. if the problem is not with shifter but with the transmission what would i look for to see if 1st and 2nd gear is bad in transmission? gears look good.
