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! |

Grinding in all gears would indicate the clutch isn't working,maybe the flywheel was resurfaced @ some stage and with clutch wear its simply not moving enough to release fully,that would explain why the release arm is touching the g/box casing.
I assumed my flywheel hadn't been machined but it had,I needed to add a washer under the pivot bolt and noticed an improvement when shifting down and less effort on the gear lever,I didn't any grinding before that however. Drop the g/box and have a look it may be as simple as adding a washer under the pivot bolt,if not at least you can see what you have to deal with,good luck. |
