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?

Improperly adjusted clutch and dragging pilot bearings are the early death of these trannies. That and not keeping them filled with oil.
1st gear synchro is a snap to change. It can be done with the tranny still in the car. Wayne's article is pretty good except I recently came up with a way to get the tail cover back on easier. Use grease to hold the reverse gear parts together and use grease to keep the reverse gear spacer in place on the intermediate plate. I want to add two more things. Just as Dr. Evil said, replace synchro now is $60. Replace later is well over $500 in parts. The 1st gear slider is very very expensive. And...Dr. Evil has one, repeat one, beautifully rebuilt 901 left... |
