hello. you may have burrs on your shift lever.:-)

Check out the B50 homepage. According to the tech tip there, it would seem that you're hung up on the shift quadrant. there is a procedure described to remove the case and leave the gearset alone. I forced my B44 apart and bent a shift fork. good luck! Pat
