What could be the cause of a 1982 Subaru BRAT being stuck in third gear?

Answer:

Answer

Maybe the clutch is frozen. Has it sat up for a while?? If so, the clutch assembley could be full of rust and has frozen the clutch fingers to the pressure plate. You may have also dropped a gear or synchronize and it's stuck in some of the teeth on the third gear ring.
