No not normally, usually an indication of the gear box is in need of a rebuild.

The T-170 series are known for wear inside the aluminum shift tower cover.
It can cause the lockup you describe.
There was a service bulletin on this back in the 80's.

Since you have it torn down my thoughts would be to how much wear the forks have or metal fatigue. I would go ahead and replace the forks.
