How can you expect dog clutches to synch and mate if both halves are

Both halves aren't static - there's always a bit of drag on the clutch,

There SHOULD be a bit of drag on the clutch.

BUT I suspect that in this case there's a bit of drag in the
gearbox..worn bearings, low oil, something partially siezed..

The trick is to do what I said.

Or get a new gearbox.


But even if you switch the engine off, select first, then try to push the
car, you should find it's gone in gear.


Should.
