Hey guys.. HELP!! I don't know what the heck happened.. My tranny install had a few hiccups, but I posted and you guys helped me out.. So i get the tranny in, it shifts ok and when it heats up I have problems with it going into gear.. I say OK maybe my linkage needs more adjustment. I adjust and go for a ride and barely make it home, let alone the grinding concerns me. I decide to pull the linkage and feel the clutch fork out and its rubbing something.. I don't like how it feels and I pulled the tranny.... again! I reach in and grab the TOB, it looks burnt in one place and I feel shavings on it. I reach in pull back a piece of metal, I look at the input shaft on the tranny and the shaft is scraped up. I'm thinking WTH!. I look closer at the tranny and the input shaft is usually covered by shaft tunnel that is part of the front seal thing with the four bolts. That was sheared off.. that was the metal piece i found... Now I can either get mad or simply ask; Is this due to incorrect linkage, Z bar, bell-crank and rods etc? The car was originally an auto and last owner made it a 4 speed. As a matter of fact when i pulled the old tranny it had similar where on the collar and TOB. Please see pics below and let me know what the heck happened. Also is that input shaft collar or tunnel easy to find for my 78 Super T10? Man am I bummed out right now...
