If the input was binding in the pilot bushing wouldn't it be hard to get in gear? especially reverse? it goes into revers with no grinding.
The original transmission came with the car but wasn't in it when I bought it. the owner had it since 1967 but he's passed so I couldn't ask him anything . I had a good mechanic put a kit in it, but who knows what could have gone wrong. with the rear jacked up you can easily turn the driveshaft everything seems great. you'd think if it was seizing it would at least be stiff all the time, when wheels are turning in neutral you can stop them by hand. the transmission does get stuck in gear though, you either have to mess with it or just power through and break it loose.
This is a real tough one, I can't really think of what would bind up hard enough to chirp the tires, yet move freely after breaking loose. just for grins I'm going to pull the brake drums and rule them out. I can't imagine what it would be they're all new . and how would they make the transmission stick in gear .but I'm grasping.
