Soooo close, or maybe not, actually driving this thing. The last item is getting a shifting down. I put a new coupler on a shifter that Bruce made sure was correct in its dimensions.

Good coupler and bushings, firewall bushing a bit marginal, console one is fine.

Come screws all aligned and tight.

Clutch cable adjusted properly.

Clutch pedal actuating properly.

Aligned the shifter to rod per instructions and per the last two I’ve done.

Can’t get a clean shift with the car running, getting a grind in every gear.

Car not running and clutch in and it’s physically hard to move the lever into gear..

Drained the oil and it was used but not terrible, no water or foreign matter.

That suggested to me that I need to drop the transmission since the clutch or pressure plate is an issue?

Anyone with other ideas?

Thanks!
