more 4 speed conversion confusion
I managed to get the trans fully seated but it was very difficult. I tried not to force anything.
I pulled the coil wire and turned the engine over with the starter.
I could see the tailshaft spinning thru the gargantuan hole I had to cut in the floor.
success?
no.
the clutch doesn't seem to work at all.
I have lengthened the pushrod as far as it will go but nothing.
the trans seems to be stuck in gear and the shifter stick itself wont seat fully into the housing.
the Zbar seems like a really goofy design compared to the one I pulled from my 66.
how do you tighten that nut on the frame end of the zbar? the one with the ball on the end.
in my last thread, some suggested perhaps my clutch is in backward, and now i'm wondering. would the trans seat completely if the clutch was in backward?
man...i'm dreading the thought of tearing this all apart again but I guess that's what is best.
i'm wishing I never started this now.
