>From things I have learned from Dick Taylor all things are possible.
One of things that this could be, since pilot bolts weren't used, is that the
trans settled a wee bit causing a misalignment of the input shaft and this
caused your hard shifting and engagement of the gears.
When you go to put
the unit back in try the following.
Remove the two studs into the block at
the eleven and the one o'clock position with bolts of the same size that are
about 4" long with the heads removed. The more shoulder length the better.
Then place the transmission on the bolts and carefully slide the transmission
into position. Tighten the nut on the center stud and put in the remaining
nuts and bolts. Once all are tighten remove the long bolts and replace with
the studs and thier nuts and tighten them down.
This is to get the
transmission into the correct position.
Then try what others have suggested
before complete assembly.

No I did not Dale and in fact it was a
bugger getting in until it finally popped in place. Do you think something
could have come loose but not showed up as a problem immediately?

Just a question, did you use
pilot bolts to support and direct the transmission in place upon your last
assembly?

Thanks Kendall , I did go out to the garage last night and used a pry
bar to
check the end float. Did not use a mic but by feel, didn't detect
anything
measureable so I'll put that in the column of reviewed but not
probable.

Hi Darcy,
The last time I had the symptoms that you
describe... I had lost the thrust
washer at the rear main bearing. And the
reason the clutch stopped working
properly is because the whole crankshaft had
about a 1/4" of travel front to
back. I let it go too long before I discovered
the root cause and ended up
with a messed up crank and block. Not cool.
Hopefully not your problem, but
you should definitely check the end float
before trying anything else.
