Hey Bill, any updates on this problem???
 
Are you sure that the shifter is not hitting the crossmember while shifting it into 4th or 2nd? Both rods and the shifter lugs would be moving in a forward motion for these gears. I have seen extra long shifter lugs combined with the low 1 1/2" trans mount cause this.

As others have stated, when the clutch pedal is dressed to the floor, you are disconnecting the transmission from the engine. The gears would not spinning and no noises would be heard.

It sounds like an interference issue with the shifter or something forward the transmission. Something inside the bellhousing. To check the shifter, have someone shift it through the gears while you are underneath checking the shifter for proper operation.

If the Philly guy was Ed H. you can bet that your transmission was done correctly.
 
Re: Muncie rebuild disaster - BOTTOM LINE!

BOTTOM LINE....

Understand how things work. If you have the transmission in gear and the clutch pedal is down. The transmission is not turning. NOTHING in the gear box is turning because simply everything is locked to your rear wheels and the car is not moving.

What is happening is things are rotating AROUND your transmission input shaft because the input is locked stationary. So what can give you a vibration such as this?

Is your bellhousing fully flush to the block? Is it aligned and dialed in?
