My '76 has this grinding problem with 1st gear. It goes through all the gears just fine but when I am slowing to enter a driveway or for any reason 1st grinds. If I come to a complete stop it will go in just fine. Is there a fix for this?

I've got the same going into second, and would have it for first if it hadn't been repaired 10 years ago. Its yer synchro and it needs replacing and it doesn't look too hard from pelicans tech article but-
You can monkey with the clutch cable and shift rod alignment to the shifter and maybe make it better for a while (pretty long unless you go for high miles....) I'm prolly gonna replace mine this winter but it wold be nice to know if it really is just misalignment before i launch into that. I've been "adjusting" to the cars advantage and disadvantage, but right now seem to have a viable combo of no slipping and a little ca-chunk when I downshift to second if I don't double clutch. Which is another way to avoid the synchro thing entirely, but I remember when it was difficult for me to get first gear and it really sucked. |
