47 Transmission Problems #318898 09/19/14 03:50 PM

OP Fleetboy Backyard Mechanic Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 279 Southern California	I just rebuilt my transmission. After installing it and ready for a test drive, at a dead stop, I push in the clutch and when I try to shift- it grinds horribly so I stop trying to shift. If I shift into first while the car is off I can get the car to back in and out of the garage but I'm hesitant to take it for a spin because I can't shift into 1st or reverse at a dead stop while the car is running. What did I do wrong here? Last edited by Fleetboy; 09/19/14 03:50 PM. 47 Aerosedan 41 Cabriolet

OP Fleetboy Backyard Mechanic Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 279 Southern California	I made the adjustment to get the play out of the pedal and actually ran out of adjustment to get the play out but the grinding is still there. The t.o bearing is new and seems to be the correct one and installed properly. Any more tips? 47 Aerosedan 41 Cabriolet
