Started my '70 tail shifter this morning, attempted to engage reverse and heardf/felt a horrible grind (kind of like the clutch pedal was not depressed, but it was). Quickly returned to neutral and tried again. I engaged reverse OK and backed out of the garage. But I heard a grinding/growling noise while moving and felt the sensation of something restricting movement (like brake on, but it wasnt'). Moved it back and forth in the driveway in all gears. It makes the same noise in all 5 forward gears as soon as I release the clutch. Reverse now seems almost OK.
Where do I start? Could it be a linkage issue (the front two bushings were new a few months ago)? It shifts smoothly when clutch pedal is depressed. Is something broken in the tranny? All opinions welcome. |

Not sure of clutch age. Major engine work about 5K miles (but many years) back. Don't know if clutch was replaced.
Do know that the tranny is leaking from front mainshaft seal and clutch is probably oily. But, car shifts fine. Noise seems to be from the tranny but I guess it could be the clutch. Sounds like tranny is coming out regardless! edit: to clarify, noise begins as soon as the tranny starts to turn and continues as I drive (slowly in the driveway only) with the clutch fully engaged. |
