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. |

Growling noise only when tranny in gear (any gear), no noise when out of gear, regardlees of position of clutch/p. plate. Begins as soon as disc begins to contact flywheel.
Flywheel has a deep groove at outer circumference. It will be turned and clutch replaced in the next week. When doing the "E brake thing" I can kill the engine easily. Clutch was not slipping so as to allow the engine to rev higher. JP's initial inspection of the differential reveals no problems. He says the condition of gears, dog teeth, especially first, are the best he has ever seen. |
