The transmission that came with my car had a problem going into first. Sometimes O.K. and sometimes no way! If I were to put it into first as I am coming to a stop, things work fine but I would need to hold in the clutch the whole time I am stopped.
For the last year, I have been running a different transmission. This one shifts fine except the synchros are worn. I could feel the dog teeth hitting. Not wanting to ruin this transmission, I decided to rebuild the old transmission. I installed a new (expensive) first / reverse operating sleeve and a new synchro ring. The rest of the stack looked fine so nothing else was done. Today I installed the transmission and the same problem it had before remains. All shifting is crisp. I can down shift to second and it feels perfect. Unfortunately, I still sometimes cannot get first from a dead stop. When the transmission was apart, I could push this into gear relatively easily. My shifter bushings are all fine. I have replaced the rear one. The front is still O.K. Any suggestions are appreciated. |

The mainshaft is still turning with the clutch in. If the adjustment is good the problem could be the disc dragging on the splines, a warped disc or a bad pilot bushing. Andy just had a similar problem but I forget what he found. Maybe do a search.

One of the little balls is has broken loose and is floating around your case, jamming up first gear on occasion.
You'll need a complete rebuild. I'll do it all for the low price of $7,500.00! We'll meet in a dark corner of the Walmart parking lot, bring the money in a suitcase, and I'd prefer unmarked 20s. THANKS! :rofl: |
