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. |

Tore appart Jim's trans this afternoon.
The guts look great to me...even the 1st ear slider & dog teeth are nice. Intermediate plate bearings look great. A pic. The noise I've heard over the phone happens under circumstances which led me to believe it was not the trans but appart it came nohow. Now I gotta put the tailshiftingsumbitch back together......that's new to me...I'm a side shifer kinda guy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The groaning sound switchs on each time the trans is in gear and any load is applied.....even when the mainshaft is *not* turning....ie: trans in gear, E brake on so the wheels can't turn......clutch slipping. Groan is less when the wheels *can* turn.... off the ground but louder when they are on the ground & the car is moving. All ideas entertained. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |
