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. |

Looks glazed to me. The clutch disk is a two piecer design that is designed to move a little to absorb shocks when it becomes engaged. Take the 4 springs out that surround the splined hub and the splined disk should rotate relative to the other disk with the clutch material riveted to it. Put them back in, and the springs absorb shocks when engaging. Don't take the springs out please. The description was meant to be educational.
