The silent chain(#36) is usually the problem along with checking the low and high gear engagement dogs (#32,39) and shift forks for excessive wear(11,12) Even a circlip that's jumped the slot on the shaft can lock up a transmission.This is about as cheap a online place as any,but you can also check Cheap Cycle Parts,Partzilla,etc. Always replace the chain anytime you split a gear case.Gear case bearings if needed can be found at any bearing/auto store by using the universal number on them.
