Get a shop manual and parts list. You will then have an idea of what the fix will cost and how difficult it will be also.<br /><br />Usually, if the clutch dog needs replacing, so does at least the forward gear. The cause of failure is usually poor shifting technique (shifting should be done briskly), too high an idle, or improperly adjusted linkage, cables, etc.
